Here is a recipe of a sauce that I created and that it is inspired by the flavors and colors of the pesto sauce. I find it very soothing for my digestion, it is very healthy, and it also tastes real good. I use it a lot for pastas or when I want to give a twist to my salads and vegetables.
Enjoy!!!
