As much as we all may love traditional pesto, it is fun to switch it up a bit. This terrific recipe highlights basil’s fresh flavor with rich, nutty pumpkin seeds and zingy lime—a nice change of pace! Basil, Lime and Pumpkin Seed Pesto is packed with nutrition and fiber, and is so complete it doesn’t even require the tried and true Parmesan cheese!

 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1 cup basil, packed

4 tablespoons lime juice

3 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper

 

Lightly toast pumpkin seeds and grind unil they stick to the walls of the food processor. Add the remaining ingredients. Add more olive oil or lime juice to thin if necessary.

 

Makes 1 cup.
