Lightened Up Pesto Sauce

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My mom and I came up with this recipe when we first started doing Weight Watchers. Pesto Sauce was always a staple in our home but, as you know, it is not very healthy. So, we decided to lighten it up! My mom always has fresh basil in her garden so we experimented until we found the perfect recipe. I use this for a ton of different dishes. It is great on pasta, on mac and cheese, to dip veggies or bread into and my favorite way, drizzled over chicken with some balsamic, it's like a chicken caprese!

Zero Point Marinara
One of my most useful dishes is my homemade tomato sauce. It's an amazing replacement for sauce on pizza, in pasta or as a dipping sauce! Why do I love it so much? It tastes fantastic and is zero points. It's the best way to reduce your daily points while still enjoying all the foods you love.

    This recipe was very easy and tasty! Love that it doesn't need any oil or nuts which can be high in points.
