Made with lemon juice

My boyfriend and I made this recipe for dinner last night - we bought a jar of preserved lemons, it was our first time using them. Maybe it was the preserved lemons that we bought, but we found it made it a little strange because when you do bite into a bit of the preserved lemon it is very salty. In the future, I will either make it with just zest and lemon juice (which never fails!) or will incorporate the preserved lemons into the pesto so that it is more consistently salty and flavoured throughout.
