This parm-free pesto swaps out pine nuts in favor of pistachios. Pistachios are packed with nutrients and are unique from other nuts in that they have lutein and zeaxanthin, two nutrients important for keeping your peepers healthy. Some ways you can use it are as a bread dip, salad dressing or pasta sauce.
