Carrot top pesto (gluten free pizza):

Pesto Italian cuisine

The next time you're at your farmer's market buying a bundle of carrots, KEEP the carrot tops (**ONLY IF BUYING ORGANIC, non-organic is not recommended for consumption such as in this recipe). You'll thank me after trying out this recipe. This is excellent as a spread in wraps, thin it with EVOO for a delicious pesto vinaigrette, mix into your eggs for a pesto-scramble, pesto potato salad, pesto pasta, mix with greek yogurt and serve as a pesto dip, spoon over roasted carrots/vegetables, or serve as a base for your pizzas as seen in this recipe below. So many ways you can use it! <br />BENEFITS: The carrot tops are very healing and can help rid the body of toxins due to their antiseptic, diuretic and stimulating properties. They are full of chlorophyll, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, especially Vitamin K, potassium and contain 6 times more Vitamin C than the carrot!! So think again the next time you want to make pesto!
