Walnut Pesto

Walnut Pesto

Everyday

Walnut pesto is a variation of traditional pesto, characterized by the use of walnuts in place of pine nuts. This sauce typically combines walnuts, fresh basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice, creating a rich, savory flavor with a slightly coarser texture than classic pesto. Due to the high fat content of both walnuts and olive oil, walnut pesto is calorie-dense and should be used in moderation, though it provides beneficial monounsaturated fats.
