I love Pesto. The best part about it is that it can be made out of anything you want – or happens to be in your kitchen. The basic rule is that Pesto must have oil, a vegetable or herb, and a nut. Personally, I think garlic is almost always a must, but those who don’t like garlic can skip it.
That said, my favorite new combination for Pesto is Basil, Sorrel, Garlic and Pine Nuts. The combination is so fresh tasting, it’s like summer on a fork. I have been using this Pesto recipe on everything: pasta, in sandwiches, drizzled on roasted vegetables, as a dipping sauce, or just straight up with a spoon. Yes, it is that good….
Make a batch and keep it in your fridge. It will stay fresh for about 4 days.

The acidity in lemon juice helps to purify and cleanse the colon, while the acid helps to break up any food, toxins or nutrients hanging out in your digestive system. Lemons stimulate the release of enzymes and help convert toxins into a water-soluble form that can be easily excreted from the body. Garlic is a powerful antiviral, antibacterial, and natural antibiotic. Garlic produces a chemical called allicin which promotes the production of white blood cells which help fight against toxins.
