Description

While this pesto is garlic and dairy free, it’s adapted from the fabulous pesto recipe we learned while my husband and I traveled to Italy for our honeymoon. One taste of this fresh, herby sauce takes me right back to the rustic and beautiful Cinque Terre.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups basil, washed and patted dry with towel
  • 1/31/2 cup roughly chopped chives
  • 1/41/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp walnuts
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Add washed basil leaves to food processor fitted with sharp S-blade. Process until finely chopped.
  2. Add roughly chopped chives and salt to the food processor and process until finely chopped.
  3. Slowly add 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and walnuts to the food processor and process until smooth. Add extra oil if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast and process until combined.
