Carrot Top Pesto

Carrots are in the same family (apiaceae) as parsnips, coriander, fennel, and parsley. So it makes sense that carrot greens are completely edible and taste a lot like parsley - but a lot of people don't know this. Our recipe for Carrot Top Pesto is quick, simple and fresh tasting - so it's versatile as well!
