On a recent trip to Albertsons®, Nadia grabbed everything she needed to make a big batch of herbaceous pesto. Pestos might be the perfect summer condiment. Quick and easy to make, you can slather them on so many things to give a simple meal a hit of bold, fresh flavor — often without needing to touch a stove knob. For making hers, Nadia doesn’t skimp on her recipe’s star ingredients, opting for O Organics Whole Peeled Garlic and fresh O Organics Basil and O Organics Oregano. The fresh herbs translate to big flavor. Check out her haul!
