Microgreens Mix Pesto

1 serving

10 minutes

Pesto made from a mix of microgreens is a modern interpretation of the classic Italian sauce. Unlike the traditional basil version, it uses delicate microgreens that add freshness and lightness to the flavor. The combination of roasted pine nuts, tangy parmesan, and garlic creates a rich, multifaceted aroma. Lime adds a slight citrus tang, while apple cider vinegar enhances the harmony of ingredients. This sauce is perfect for pasta, toast, salads, and even as a marinade. Thanks to the microgreens, it is not only tasty but also rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Serving it in a glass jar makes storage convenient, allowing you to enjoy this refined Italian flavor anytime.
