I did not have the olives so left them out but added some salt. I LOVE garlic but I would recommend to add only 2 cloves at first, taste then add more according to taste. I only used 2T olive oil and no water - 9/6/15

I didn't give the recipe a rating b/c I altered it a ton. But as far a base for my own recipe, it's awesome!
I dislike olive oil, so I didn't use it. I used olive juice instead. I added salt to taste & used 1T chopped green olives, and walnuts. I loved it, but I often dislike pesto, just FYI. - 5/23/13

Way too salty, even without the Kalamata olive spread! - 9/13/12

Terrific! I didn't have Kalamata olives or spread, so I added a tablespoon of Boscoli Italian Olive Salad. I also added the juice from a Key lime and cut the water in half. Absolutely over the top! Thanks for sharing. - 8/24/09
