Kale Pesto

Cultural Context

Kale pesto is a modern twist on the traditional Italian basil pesto, which hails from the Liguria region. This vibrant green sauce celebrates the nutritious qualities of kale, making it a popular choice for health-conscious eaters. While classic pesto is often made with basil, the use of kale adds a unique flavor and texture, making it a versatile ingredient in various dishes. Today, kale pesto is embraced globally, often used in pasta, sandwiches, and as a dip.
