Pesto sauce is one of my favorites! It’s full of fresh and bright flavors and loaded in antioxidants and immune-boosting ingredients. You can use it over baked salmon, grilled chicken, or drizzled over an omelette! It’s also amazing tossed with some healthy pasta alternatives like zucchini noodles or hearts of palm pasta.
