Slowly pour Olive Oil into Food Processor while it is running.
Season with salt to taste.

Notes

If your pistachios are salted, you may not need to season the pesto with any salt at all. If they are unsalted, slowly add a little salt until it is seasoned to your taste preference.
Adding a little bit of honey also makes this a delicious sweet sauce. It is delicious on strawberry shortcake, wrapped in phyllo dough, and even on ice cream!
