*Raw Basil Pesto*

HAPPY 2016 Everyone🎉🎉 I pray your new year is off to a great start. Of course we have to start the new year off right bringing you some tasty new recipes. Pestos are great on crackers, bread, salads, baked potatoes and more. This basil pesto sauce is rich in nutrition, will boost your immune system, easy to make, and super tasty. Basil is a great source of Vitamin K (vital for blood clotting), Vitamin A (helps prevent heart attacks/strokes), Vitamin C (immunity boost), iron, calcium, potassium, and omega 3 fatty acids. Consuming parsley will help heal your nervous system and keep your immune system strong. Parsley contains many essential vitamins including Vitamin A, B12, C, K, and it is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and helps to cleanse your blood with its chlorophyll content. I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
