- Make sure to wash and dry the spinach and rocket thoroughly to avoid excess moisture, which can affect the consistency of the pesto.
- To enhance the flavor of the macadamia nuts, consider lightly toasting them before adding to the food processor.
- If the pesto is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water or extra olive oil to achieve your desired consistency.
- For a dairy-free or vegan version, you can substitute the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or a vegan cheese alternative.
- Store any leftover pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage.
