Pesto is one of the most versatile foods you can make, add it into pasta, as a dip, on sprouted toast with fresh vegetables, added on roasted vegetables – the list is pretty much endless! This recipe is simple, delicious that the whole family will love.
My version of pesto is rich in vitamins and minerals, good fats, fibre and very importantly taste!
