Pesto dip is simply a combo of fresh basil herb, toasted nuts, and garlic. Given here, is the recipe of basil pesto with roasted pine nut, but you can use walnuts or pumpkin seeds too if you have that on hand. Simply pound the ingredients for a textured outcome or go for your preference of creaminess by blending them altogether. Power packed ingredients customized to your taste buds!

Ingredients

• Basil leaves: 20 leaves
• Garlic: 2 pods
• Pumpkin Seeds (green shelled) Or Walnut/Pine Nut: 2 tbsp (roasted)
• Rock Salt to taste

Method

• Put all the ingredients and crush using a mortar-pestle to get a rough-textured paste.

• Eat fresh and do not store.

Eating guide

• Food Group: Vegetable (Green herbs) & nuts
• Dips are a great way to add taste and health to your meals. We often struggle to increase our intake of seeds, and nut-based dips can go a long way in meeting this goal.
• Freshly made herbs and dips are also great replacements for market bought sauces.
