3. Walnut Pesto
As we all know, pesto is traditionally made with pine nuts. However, you won’t notice any difference in taste if you exchange pine nuts with walnuts. As a plus, walnut pesto is very versatile: it can be a savory sauce for your homemade pasta or a great addition to a toasted slice of bread in the morning.
“Pestos are a delicious blend of phytonutrient-packed green herbs, olive oil, a bit of high-flavor cheese, and in this case, walnuts for their distinct taste and omega-3s,” says Annie Kay, MS, RDN, Lead Nutritionist at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. “Herbs also have some of the highest ORAC scores (a measure of antioxidant levels) of any food.”
