Pistachio Pesto for Cranberry Crisps

November 16, 2021

Finger foods always seem to be a favorite during the holidays, so here is a simple
and festive crowd pleaser: pistachio pesto. We love pairing this savory spread with our cranberry almond crisps and a little bit of goat cheese*. While pesto is
classically made with pine nuts, we decided to put our own twist on it, using
pistachios instead for a unique flavor. We also added a small handful of arugula
for a slight spicy flavor. This spread is great to have on hand for a midday snack,
or perfect to serve anytime you’re hosting guests!- Anna Goldstone 📸 @annaseatzz
