In the warmer summer months we love to make a variety of different sandwiches, wraps, grilled burgers, etc. and this creamy pesto aioli is perfect on all of those and so much more! And if you have some fresh basil growing in the garden, you have to make your own pesto. The flavor is out of this world. It is the perfect condiment spread to use all summer long!
And if you have some extra pesto, you should definitely make our Pesto Salmon!
