Tips:
• Chill pesto in order to keep it for a long time or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Pesto should be defrosted in the refrigerator, before its use.
• It can be used as a dip with breadsticks or as a bread spread.
• Be very careful with salt, since the dried tomatoes are already salted.
• Avoid adding pine nuts in order to not have a sweet and greasy pesto. Also, avoid nuts because they harden its taste. Choose to add almonds in pesto, since almonds make it tastier.
