Carrot Greens Pesto

Submitted by Love6381

"When you grow carrots or get them from the farmers market, there are always leftover greens. Since I like total utilization, I make this pesto with the greens. The ratio of carrot greens to basil can be adjusted to accommodate the amount you have on hand."
