Lemon Balm Pesto

2 cups loosely packed, fresh lemon balm leaves

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic

Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Serve like traditional pesto over pasta, or add to broiling fish or chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
