Healthy Pesto: A Versatile and Nutritious Twist on a Classic
Pesto is a staple in our household, and I love adding it to sandwiches, avocado toast, or wraps. While traditional pesto is made with pine nuts, I prefer using almonds and incorporating a bunch of spinach for added nutrients. If you're planning to use the pesto immediately, adding avocado makes it super creamy. This version is healthier than store-bought pesto, as it includes vegetables and omits Parmesan cheese, making it completely vegan.
