Tasty Tuesday - Pesto! :)
This is a great time of year for fresh pestos, which add a ton of flavor to a dish.
This image shows 4 options for making pesto, and you can play around with how much you like of each ingredient to make it your own.
I know and I both have used carrot top greens for a pesto too - you really can be creative!
How can you use the pestos?
✅ 1. Pesto + Grilled Chicken
Coat chicken breast with pesto before grilling. Juicy, flavorful, and high protein.
✅ 2. Pesto Egg Scramble
Mix pesto into scrambled eggs for breakfast.
✅ 3. Pesto-Roasted Vegetables
Toss zucchini, broccoli, bell peppers, or asparagus with pesto and roast. Brings out their natural flavors, and makes a great side dish.
✅ 4. Pesto + Salmon
Spread pesto on salmon before baking. The oil keeps the fish moist, the pesto adds flavor.
✅ 5. Pesto Salad Dressing
Thin pesto with olive oil and lemon juice. Drizzle over greens, vegetables, or salads.
✅ 6. Pesto Zucchini Noodles
Toss spiralized zucchini with pesto. Feels like pasta without the refined carbs. You can add protein too, and I love this with shrimp or chicken.
✅ 7. Pesto Cauliflower Rice
Mix pesto into cauliflower rice for a flavorful side dish. Again, add a protein you like!
✅ 8. Pesto + Beef or Ground Turkey
Stir pesto into ground meat before cooking.
✅ 9. Pesto Deviled Eggs
Mix pesto into the egg yolk filling for deviled eggs. Unique twist on a classic.
💡 Pro tip: Make it fresh when in season, freeze it in ice cube trays, and use it year-round. You control the ingredients—no mystery oils or preservatives.
