Green Pea Pesto
Description
High in antioxidants, fiber, potassium and even omega-3 fatty acids, peas also can add some sweetness to a meal. Even people who don't think they like peas should try this pesto, which you can spread on toast, toss into pasta or enjoy as a dip.
This sweet, new way to enjoy green peas was introduced at the "Bite-Sized Nutrition" talk by Megan McLean, a student in the Master of Science in Nutrition with Didactic Program in Dietetics program. McLean talked about why you should "Eat Your Peas" during the Living Naturally lecture on April 30, 2015, at Bastyr Center for Natural Health.
