🧾 Parsley nutrition facts

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. 

⭐ Why you'll love this recipe

• Only 4 ingredients.
• Extremely easy to make.
• Ready in 5 minutes.
• This recipe is dairy free, vegan, paleo and whole30 compliant.

📖 Ingredient notes

• 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.
• Olive oil. I recommend using extra virgin olive oil for its higher quality, as 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.
