Day one of my vestibular migraine diet plan. Wholemeal toast, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, avocado, rocket and freshly picked wild garlic flowers. They add a pop of flavour as well as looking pretty 😍

Taking advantage of this short season to make fresh wild garlic pesto. The powerful flavour and vibrant colour ... you know spring has arrived. A truly delightful seasonal treat.

A classic pesto recipe typically includes wild garlic leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice or zest. I've also added hazelnuts and some parsley.
Wild garlic pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, but do cover with a layer of olive oil to prevent oxidation.
I'm also going to freeze some in ice cube trays for longer storage.
I'm looking forward to using some with salmon and pasta this evening...... mmm 😋 🌿
