Pesto: The Green Mean Fighting Machine

Sometimes eating our greens can be difficult. We boil it, slather it in fat, roll it in cheese or meat, smother it in salt, or just feed it to little Rover. We torture ourselves to attempt to eat these verdant food stuffs with the knowledge that , yes, it's good for you. As with most things that are good for you, sometimes we don't find it that palatable. However, that doesn't have to be the case. Green can be good. Green can be yummy. Green is great. Only if you allow it to be. Sometimes the best things don't require too much assembly or cooking. In fact, somethings are just better raw. One of my favourite green fighting foods is pesto. Pesto with pasta is a great meal that can be eaten at anytime of the year, but is even more wonderful at summer because it requires minimal cooking. Using greens, oil, nuts, cheese, and a blender, pesto is an easy sauce to make to eat with whatever pasta you like, and is something that you will be sure to love, even though its green.
