Getting your greens in does not have to mean all salads and spinach smoothies. This pesto is a nutritional secret weapon. One spoon of this slathered on to anything savory will offer a micronutrient and antioxidant boost to your day. Great to snacks, quick salad dressing, and enhancing the flavour of vegetable dishes. I recommend making a large batch to keep a few jars in the freezer for quick and convenient meal boosters.
