I’ve haven’t try pesto in my life. I don’t even know what it is? All I knew was I need this recipe to add into my tuna salad (Not-Your-Mama's Tuna Salad) that I was preparing at the same day. I know it is not easy to find pesto in my local store because traditionally Malaysians don't not fancy pastas or salads….so I had to make one myself.
When I saw this recipe I thought it would be quite easy to make. However, it uses pine nuts which again isn't readily available in my local store, argh…! Anyway I substitute it with pistachio nuts. I read that pesto have many use in all types of dishes. Although I’ve never try the original pesto but this version does have a pleasant flavor. I can certainly add this recipe to my tuna salad. And I was right, it truly perfected my tuna salad recipe.
Later on I used the leftover pesto to make some tomato salad, it just shows how versatile this dish is.
