Just try something different. I work with green pesto very often. It combines well, is very fresh in color and gives a great taste. For this puff pastry variation, I deliberately chose a red pesto because I served the strudel with a rocket salad. Of course, the strudel can also be enjoyed as a snack, ideally with a sour cream dip.
