A LOWER FAT PESTO SAUCE image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Herb     Nut     Vegetable     Vegetarian     Low Cal     Backyard BBQ     Raw

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
3 cups basil leaves
1 cup spinach leaves
6 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed**
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 - 4 tablespoons water
2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place nuts, basil, spinach, garlic, cheese, lemon juice and pepper in a food processor. Puree. Gradually add water until desired consistency. Add salt to taste. This can be refrigerated in an air tight container for a day, and the flavors will enhance. When ready to use, stir in olive oil. ** Whole unpeeled cloves of garlic can be lightly toasted in olive on the stove or in an oven, or placed in a microwave oven for 8 seconds. This takes some of that raw, pungent bitterness out of your garlic and adds a nuttier taste to your food.

I made this pesto sauce last night and it was delicious! I used it on a grilled salmon salad and it was the perfect complement. The sauce was flavorful and light, and it didn't overpower the salmon. I will definitely be making this sauce again.
