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!

Please bare with me as weight watchers has changed the plan. I am working on changing all of my points but it will take me some time so please be nice. The best way for me to do this is for me to link my WW recipe builder (from the app) into my blog posts. You can then click on that link and it will bring you to my recipe, within your own personal ww app, with your own personal ww points attached. Currently, there is some wording that says "click the link below for the ww recipe builder". Some posts will have the link and others will not. I am working on getting them all up but please be patient. For now, you will need to calculate your own points if there is no ww recipe builder link up.

Please note that any brand utilized in the ww recipe builder link may not be accurate. Please utilize the specific brand of your choosing.
