Marjoram Olive Pesto
Pesto, that great Italian flavour bomb, perfect with any pasta, on veggies, with crackers, crudites, or other crunchy things of choice.
Not just for pasta...get it on crackers, cheese boards, on toast, fresh bread, as a salad dressing (thinned down with a little EVOO) as a rub for meats of all descriptions. This is the pesto with the besto! Yay Doterra! Gotta love that!
