Here's what I cover in today's video.

First, I show you the most simple method to make a homemade pesto sauce. All you need to do is to place all the ingredients together and blend until you get the desired consistency.

Next, you need to cook the rice according to the package directions. How simple it is.

Everything you have to do to make this salad complete is to combine the pesto with cooked rice and serve alone or with your favorite topping.

Here I suggest cherry tomatoes, cubed mozzarella cheese or hard boiled egg to your desired level of softness.
