Vegan Pesto
Ingredients
- 2 cups Packed Basil Leaves
- 1 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Pine Nuts (See Notes for Substitutes)
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup Vegan Parmesan (or 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast)
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- This is really quite simple! Just add everything to a food processor and blitz! You can also use an immersion blender instead as well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- It's best enjoyed fresh, but will last in the fridge for about 3 days.
Notes
- Fresh Basil - Use Basil if possible, the fresher the better! If you can't get your hands on Basil then Parsley could work too!
- Pine Nuts - I know these can be pricey, but you only need 1/4 cup, so get a smaller package if you can. You can also use pretty much any nut like almonds, walnuts, cashews. You can also use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds as well.
