  • Can I make this ahead of time? How long will it last in the refrigerator? I would also like to blend this with goat cheese and stuff mushroom cups as an appetizer. Or just use it with any kind of spiralized noodles as a Pesto Pasta dish. My mouth is watering just thinking about all the different ways to use this. Coat chicken tenders, or with shrimp.
