Good recipe to guide you when using the ingredients in your own home.  Used freshly harvested basil and parsley from my back yard with garlic, oo and instead of pine nuts, went the way of green freshly toasted pumpkin seed.  Was pretty tasty, needed some savory so threw in a small amount of anchovies, they worked well, and are non-dairy.<div><br /></div><div>I used my juicer, nice size cuts, it did seperate the juice from the ruffage, but easy to stir back in and enjoy!  Even saved some to add to my cucumber drink!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>
