Salad With Pesto is a vibrant dish that marries fresh greens with the bold flavors of traditional Italian pesto. Typically made with spinach, arugula, or mixed lettuce, the salad is complemented by a drizzle of pesto sauce, crafted from basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Optional toppings like cherry tomatoes, avocado, or grilled chicken can enhance its texture and nutritional content. This dish is rich in antioxidants from leafy greens and healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. However, pesto can be high in calories and saturated fats due to its cheese and oil content, so moderation is key. With its Mediterranean roots, Salad With Pesto is a refreshing, nutrient-packed option that balances bold flavors with wholesome ingredients. Perfect as a starter or light meal, it's both indulgent and nourishing.
