Spring is around the corner, or so we hope. Since life awakens for a new beginning, we love to use all seasonal produce we are able to find on the market. That includes anything and everything green. And on today’s menu it’s king basil – a nutritious and flavorful herb used all across Europe and the Mediterranean.
Why we love this pesto recipe around the house:
- It’s easy to prepare
- Packed with nutrients and rich on taste
- Perfect on a busy day during spring/summer months when we look for lighter and quicker meals
- Ideal addition to salads, wraps, sandwiches and even gnocchi & spaghetti (in larger quantities)
Did I convince you to try it, well I hope I did – otherwise you will be missing out. Plus, it goes perfectly well on top of our Juicy Grilled tuna steaks recipe.
And if you live in a part of the world where tomatoes are now growing and ripening, i cannot recommend enough topping some of our basil pesto over (pink) taste-bursting tomatoes. Then drizzle some olive oil and add baby mozzarella (just like we did in the photos here). Thatt, my friend is the perfect light Italian summer salad. Mmm, yum!
