About Cashew pesto
Cashew pesto is a creamy, flavorful condiment that reimagines the classic Italian pesto by swapping out traditional pine nuts for rich, buttery cashews. Typically made with fresh basil leaves, cashews, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and a splash of lemon juice, this inventive twist delivers a slightly sweeter and smoother texture. Inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, cashew pesto pairs beautifully with pasta, roasted vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches. Nutritionally, cashews provide heart-healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, while olive oil contributes antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Basil adds a boost of vitamins A and K, as well as beneficial plant compounds. However, it’s important to note that cashew pesto can be calorie-dense and contains saturated fat from cheese, so portion control is key for a balanced diet. Enjoy it as a vibrant, delicious way to elevate your meals.
