Low Iodine Mint & Herb Pesto

Bright, herby, and punchy with citrus, this triple-herb pesto is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Mint brings a cool freshness that plays beautifully against the earthy depth of basil and parsley, while a hit of lemon zest and juice keeps the whole thing vibrant and sharp. Managing iodine intake often means scrutinizing store-bought sauces for hidden additives, seafood-derived ingredients, or iodized salt — this recipe sidesteps all of that with a clean, straightforward ingredient list you can trust. The only salt here is fine sea salt, which is typically non-iodized, making it a smart swap for anyone keeping a close eye on iodine sources. A food processor does most of the work in under a minute, bringing everything together into a coarse, spoonable paste that's as satisfying to make as it is to eat. Spoon it over roasted vegetables, stir it into pasta, or use it as a spread — it's endlessly versatile and stores well with just a simple plastic wrap trick to keep the color fresh.
