Fresh, Lemon Broccoli Pesto-Style Sauce
Body
Brimming with bright lemon flavor, this creamy sauce is a clever way to add a power veggie, packed with vitamin C, fiber, calcium, and more. Spoon it over pasta, your favorite protein – like eggs – a sandwich, or roasted veggies for an extra serving of greens that doubles as a zesty sauce.
