This pesto is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I had a bunch of tomatoes that were starting to go bad, so I made this pesto and it turned out great. It's a delicious way to preserve the flavor of tomatoes.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this one. It's not as oily or heavy as some other pestos I've tried. I'll definitely be making this again.

I love that this pesto is made with whole tomatoes. It gives it a much more robust flavor than pestos made with sun-dried tomatoes or tomato paste. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, but I really enjoyed this pesto. The walnuts add a nice crunch and they don't overpower the other flavors. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is the best pesto I've ever had! The tomatoes add a sweetness that I love and the walnuts give it a nice texture. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it many more times in the future.
