Oil-Free Basil and Parsley Pesto

Ok here it is! This oil-free basil and parsley pesto! I’m in love. I feel like I’m in a sauce phase right now. I can’t get enough. Especially full of fresh herbs! … I thought they were no fun anymore when I started watching my fats with macro-counting.  But this is completely oil-free and I’m obsessed!  Just a tiny bit of pine nuts… and yet I didn’t feel like it was sad and diet-y like I’ve found most store-bought low-fat dressings and sauces.

Different, of course, than your average pesto with loads of olive oil and parmesan.  But the garlic, basil, and pine nuts made it familiar, the parsley– just a little extra fresh and herby… the orange vinegar adds a hit of zesty fruitiness… and of course the yogurt brought it all together and made it creamy without all of the fat!  We ate it kind of drizzle/blobbed on these Moroccan chicken skewers I just posted! I’m having technical difficulties right now with my link option… but you’ll find the skewers one post back.

I realize “blobbed” doesn’t sound pretty. But you won’t care when you’re eating it.

So you should blob some on your chicken too. Or on a sandwich. Or wrap. Or roasted veggies. You get it.  Or here’s an easy link for you to go pin it on your healthy food pinterest board with good intentions!
