This pesto is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin seeds. It's also a nice change from traditional basil pesto.

Not a fan. The horseradish flavor is too overpowering.

I was hesitant to try this pesto because I'm not a big fan of horseradish, but I'm so glad I did! The flavors are perfectly balanced and it's not too spicy. I'll definitely be making this again.
