Beet Green Pesto is another one of those simple dishes using the beet green stems and leaves of beetroot. These stems and leaves are lush in colour and taste. What I love about this Beet Green Pesto is the roasted pumpkin seeds and garlic cloves. Just add pasta and you have a colourful delicious dish perfect for Spring.
