Welcome to the Food & Nutrition Test Kitchen Recipe Contest, where readers are invited to submit original recipes for a chance to be featured in the magazine and win cool prizes!

Our featured recipe for Arugula Pesto, developed by Jill Melton, MS, RD. Almost any herb or leafy green can be tossed into pesto, including kale, basil, parsley, cilantro and arugula. Customize it to suit your preferences and ingredients you have on hand.

Dollop pesto onto hot pasta, chicken chili, beans, turkey roll-ups or inside stuffed shells. Use it as a dip for crudité and pita chips, a spread on sandwiches or however you like!

On social media, share pics of your pesto on its own or added to a meal or snack (an element on a charcuterie board, perhaps?) with the hashtag #FNTestKitchen.
