Yes, pesto is typically green due to its primary ingredient, fresh basil, which gives it its vibrant color. Other ingredients, such as pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, contribute to the flavor but do not significantly alter its green appearance. Variations of pesto can include other herbs or greens, but traditional basil pesto remains the most common green version.
