Broccoli pesto is an original interpretation of the classic Italian sauce adapted to Mexican cuisine. Broccoli, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, adds freshness and a rich flavor to the dish that harmonizes well with basil and nuts. Lemon juice adds a light tanginess while garlic gives it a kick. This sauce can be used as a dip, added to pasta, spread on toast, or served with meat and vegetables. Its ease of preparation makes it an ideal choice for a quick and healthy dinner. The uniqueness of broccoli pesto lies in its delicate texture and balanced flavor that can be easily adapted by adding cheese or adjusting the oil's consistency. Regardless of the variation, this sauce always delights with its rich aroma and benefits.
