Pesto sauce with celery

4 servings

10 minutes

Celery pesto sauce is a fresh interpretation of classic Italian pesto, enriched with aromatic herbs and nutty notes. Instead of the traditional ingredients, tender celery adds lightness and refined freshness to the sauce. Basil, almonds, and pine nuts create a rich flavor ensemble, while garlic and apple cider vinegar add zesty accents. Olive oil gives the sauce a velvety texture, and grated hard cheese adds depth of flavor. This sauce pairs perfectly with pasta, fresh vegetables or is served with meat and fish dishes. This culinary masterpiece is for those who love experimentation and appreciate flavor balance. Serve it freshly made, enjoying every sip of aroma and richness of taste.
