Place all of the pesto ingredients into a blender + blend until it's in a sauce-like thickness. Sometimes I have to add water to thin it out.

Meanwhile, chop the veggies accordingly for the salad + cook what is needed (carrots + potatoes- however you choose)

Mix the veggies + pesto in a large bowl before serving. I add some extra lemon juice when serving.
