Vegan Basil Pesto

THE INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves, stems removed

  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, stems removed

  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

  • ½ cup nutritional yeast

  • ½ cup pine nuts, optional

  • 1 tsp French Herb Salt

  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup Avocado Oil, more if needed to thin

THE METHOD:

  • Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until ingredients combine into a smooth but not liquid consistency.  Should be slightly thinner than the consistency of hummus.  Add more oil if too thick.  Don’t over process. 

  • Freeze any extra in an ice cube tray and place in a sealed bag in the freezer for up to 6 months.
