Arugula pesto is a vibrant twist on the classic Italian condiment, blending the peppery bite of fresh arugula with garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and toasted pine nuts. Often used as a sauce for pasta, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for grilled vegetables and meats, this versatile pesto showcases bold flavors from Mediterranean cuisine. Nutritionally, arugula is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants and phytonutrients that support bone health and immunity. The olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while pine nuts offer protein and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc. The cheese adds calcium but also increases sodium levels, so portion control is key for those monitoring salt intake. Arugula pesto is a delicious way to enjoy fresh greens and healthy fats, adding flavor and nutrients to a variety of dishes.
