That's right. You heard me... Lemon Balm! This might be the most delicious smelling herb on the planet. It literally smells like a citronella candle has exploded all over your nose holes.
Aside from its ridiculous smell, lemon balm also makes an amazing pesto! So the next time you find yourself at a farmer's market, or you're wondering what to do with the bunch of lemon balm from your CSA other than making a LOT of tea(that was my conundrum), try this pesto.
Ingredients:
2 cups tightly packed lemon balm leaves (no stems please!)
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 tsp sea salt
Preparation:
Blend all the above ingredients together.
Enjoy!
