Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest. It’s certainly true in the case of this classic basil and pine nut pesto. Whether on pasta or in our White Bean and Celery Salad with Pesto Grilled Shrimp, it makes the meal. It also makes an amazing salad dressing or dip when tossed with balsamic vinegar.
