🧾 Parsley nutrition facts

Not only is this almond parsley pesto incredibly delicious, but it's also incredibly nutritious. Parsley is rich in many vitamins, particularly vitamin K. It is also a great source of vitamins A and C and a good source of calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, making this pesto a great addition to any dish.

📖 Ingredient notes

Making a parsley pesto might seem like an intimidating culinary feat, but with the right ingredients it's surprisingly easy!

• Fresh parsley. There are two types of parsley : curly-leaf parsley and flat-leaf parsley. For this recipe, you can use either one of them but my personal favorite for this pesto sauce is curly parsley as I find it more flavorful. And if you have some leftover parsley, you can make my Beet and Carrot Juice or my Beetroot and Feta Salad.
• Olive oil. Make sure to use extra virgin olive oil. It is made from pure, cold press olives. It will also give a delicious olive flavor to your almond parsley pesto.
• Almond flour. It will give a delicious nutty flavor to your parsley pesto sauce.
