It's official. You can make pesto out of anything. I've actually never successfully made pesto, but I have wanted to. Found a recipe today for a mint pesto (3 cups mint, 1/4 cup salted almonds, olive oil & salt) and was inspired because we have mint growing at the house.

Well, all of our mint amounted to 1/2 cup, so I had to improvise. We had a bowl of leftover salad in the fridge that was romaine lettuce and feta cheese. I pulled the green leafy parts off the lettuce and dumped it in there with the feta. I added minced garlic and even some cashews that happened to be sitting on the counter.

It is fantastic!! I realize the picture looks a bit like pea baby good, but I promise it was quite tasty. We added the pesto to the top of the chicken Alfredo I served over shell pasta.
