This pesto is versatile and easy to throw together and use more than once during the week. It can be easily thrown together in the food processor. It will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Use it tossed with pasta and grilled shrimp, fish, or chicken. Roast vegetables and toss a few tablespoons with them once they are out of the oven.

By Nancy Palermo Lietz, MD “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame in diet and the cause and prevention of diseases. “ Thomas Edison Americans have an obsession with nutrition, diet, and weight loss. Countless books on the subjects hit the bestseller list, only to be replaced by the next publication in print. It should be no surprise that Dr. Colin Campbell’s book, The China Study, quickly hit the bestseller list.
