Paleo Pesto

Cultural Context

Pesto originates from the Liguria region of Italy, traditionally made with basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and cheese. This vibrant green sauce is a staple in Italian cuisine, often served with pasta or as a spread. The modern paleo version omits cheese and focuses on fresh, whole ingredients, making it popular among health-conscious eaters worldwide.
