Ingredients
1 1/2 cups fresh basil
3 small cloves garlic (peeled)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon pink salt
dash pepper
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons raw cashews
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
Directions
- In a food processor, blend the cashews about a minute on high speed.
- Add all other ingredients, minus the olive oil. Process the food on high speed about 30 seconds.
- Add in olive oil. Process the food an additional minute on high speed.
For the vegan pesto recipe, what can be used in place of cashews? Peanut, cashews and almonds are on my sensitivity list at this time.
That is a great question! Can you have pine nuts? Perhaps they may work?
