Ingredients

Servings
  • 2/3 cup macadamia nut roasted, unsalted
  • 1 cup basil packed, fresh
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Place macadamia nuts in blender cup; pulse just until nuts have broken down into a meal-like consistency. Don't overprocess because you'll process again with the rest of the ingredients. 
  2. Add in fresh basil, parmesan, oil, minced garlic, and salt; pulse until ingredients have combined and no big pieces of basil remain.
  3. Transfer to 8oz jar and store in fridge, about 2 weeks.
  4. Use on pasta, pizza, sandwiches and more!

Notes

  • Some of my favorite jars to use for storing are weck jars.
