What is Pesto ?
Pesto is basically a sauce originated in Italy. It traditionally consists of crushed garlic, European pine nuts, coarse salt, basil leaves, hard cheese such as Parmesan cheese, all blended with olive oil. Pesto turns of to be a great flavor ingredient in pasta and works amazing when used a spread in sandwiches or burgers. Egg salad is a dish made primarily of chopped hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise, often including other ingredients such as celery or mustard, which is frequently used as a sandwich spread. It is made mixed with seasonings in the form of herbs, spices and other ingredients, bound with mayonnaise (wiki)
