Bright, herby, and fresh! This easy pesto is made without dairy or refined oil. It adds vibrant flavor to pasta, sandwiches, wraps, pizza, veggies, and more!

Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh basil, lightly packed*
- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp. white miso
- 1/4 cup aquafaba (or water)
Instructions
- Gently rinse your basil, large stems removed, then pat dry.
- Place all ingredients in a food processor. (I start with 3 Tbsp. aquafaba, then add more as needed.)
- Pulse/blend for a minute, stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Add more aquafaba (or water) to thin if needed until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Store pesto in a sealed glass jar or container in the refrigerator. I find it keeps for about 5-7 days. Stir again before serving.
Notes
- *Fresh basil: This is about 50 grams, large stems removed.
- Miso substitute: Use 1/4 tsp. salt instead (more or less to taste).
- Yield: Recipe makes 3/4 cup pesto.
