As summer gets closer and temperatures heat up, it’s time to ditch the oven in favor of lighter and colder fare. Pesto is the perfect hot-weather addition to a summer barbecue. It’s easy to make in large quantities (freeze a couple cups for later in ice cube trays for easy, single-serve portions) and it’s not just for pasta. Pesto is a great addition to cheese and crackers, salad dressings, and sandwiches. Lately, I’ve been adding pesto to quinoa mixed with grilled bell peppers, carrots, and sweet potatoes– yum.
Moringa pesto is easy to make, tastes delicious, and is super nutritious. You can add as much moringa as you want depending on how earthy or plant-based you want your pesto to taste. I really enjoy the taste of moringa and added quite a bit for an extra nutritional punch!
