🌿 Arugula Pesto
Fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor
Arugula pesto is a fresh twist on the classic sauce, with a bright color and a peppery, tangy taste.
Rich in nutrients like calcium and magnesium, this pesto is both healthy and delicious. It has a creamy texture and can be made in just a few minutes. It’s the perfect pesto for quick yet gourmet meals.
Whether you spread it on bread, mix it with pasta, or serve it as a dip, this pesto adds a burst of freshness to any table.
I highly recommend making it and enjoying its flavor with crunchy tortilla chips.
This tasty, healthy, and quick sauce also supports detoxification and weight management.
