Chard Pesto

I'm experimenting with pesto. It's raw, easy, freezes well, and has many uses. I can also get the bulk of the ingredients locally--there must be an olive grove around here somewhere! I didn't have a lot of basil on hand so I substituted a bag of garden chard. Here's my list of ingredients. I didn't include measurements because I had to keep tweaking the consistency.

garden chard
walnuts
lime
basil
garlic
olive oil

Blend together until smooth. Pour over cooked pasta (or spread onto pizza, etc). Freezes well.
