Spinach Pesto – A Fresh & Vibrant Twist on Classic Pesto!

Looking for a nutrient-packed alternative to traditional basil pesto? This spinach pesto is creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor. It’s perfect for pasta, sandwiches, and more—plus, it’s super easy to make in just minutes! 🥗✨


🌱 Ingredients:

  • 50g pine nuts
  • 2 tsp Parmesan cheese
  • 100ml olive oil
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

💡 Tip: Pesto is super customizable! You can substitute the spinach with almost any herb, like basil (the traditional choice), parsley, cilantro, or arugula for a peppery kick. The same goes for nuts—swap pine nuts for almonds, walnuts, cashews, or even sunflower seeds for a different flavor and texture.

  1. Blend it all: Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  2. Adjust consistency: If needed, add a little extra olive oil for a creamier texture.
  3. Taste & tweak: Adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
  4. Serve & enjoy: Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

🍽 How to Use It:

  • Toss with pasta for a quick, delicious meal 🍝
  • Spread on sandwiches or wraps 🥪
  • Drizzle over roasted vegetables 🥕
  • Use as a dip for crackers or bread 🥖
  • Stir into soups or grain bowls for extra flavor 🍲
