So much more than a salad, this recipe is filled to the brim with nutrient-dense ingredients and packed full of bright flavor.
It’s a high claim but…you can never go wrong with pesto. This exceptionally flavorful version uses pistachios instead of pine nuts and tastes incredible with crackers as an appetizer, tossed together with pasta, spread on sandwiches and burgers, and even between layers of lasagnas or casseroles.
