lemon cucumber with fresh pesto

A couple of days ago we inherited several fresh lemon cucumbers from my father-in-law so I needed to find some way to enjoy these rather than just adding your usual salt. In my eyes, you can’t go wrong with fresh pesto, and the more you have the better. This was the perfect light dinner on a warm summer night. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • about 3-4 medium lemon cucumbers
  • 2 cups fresh Italian basil leaves and stems
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons fresh shaved parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients into a food processor and blend until combined (about 30-45 seconds). Chop the cucumbers into wedges or slice vertically. Drizzle the fresh pesto on top, and top with additional fresh basil or cheese if desired. Lastly, garnish with fresh basil, or lavender, and enjoy!
