About Tomato slices with pesto

Tomato Slices with Pesto is a simple yet flavorful dish inspired by Italian cuisine. It features fresh, juicy tomato slices topped with a vibrant pesto sauce made from basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Packed with nutrients, tomatoes provide vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants like lycopene, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation. Pesto contributes healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts, along with phytonutrients from basil. While offering many health benefits, the dish contains moderate amounts of sodium and calories due to the Parmesan cheese and olive oil, so portion control is key. This colorful and fragrant recipe works as a refreshing side dish or appetizer, combining wholesome ingredients to bring Mediterranean flavors to your plate. Perfect for vegetarians, it's a versatile option suited for light meals or gatherings.
