Basil Cashew Pesto
35 calories per serving
14 servings
Sauce/Dressing
Vegetarian
Ingredients:
3 cups Fresh Basil, lightly chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
1 tsp Salt
2 Garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp Cashews
2 tbsp Olive oil
3 tbsp Lemon juice
1/4 cup Water
Instructions:
Put all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and grind until combined into a paste.
**I chop the basil and garlic and grind the cashews in advance because my blender is not very strong. But if you have a high speed mixer, you can just throw it all in whole and the machine will do the work for you.**
Substitutions:
Parmesan: Romano or any hard cheese. If you are dairy free, substitute bread crumbs.
Cashews: any nut you like or omit entirely if you are nut free
Olive oil: any plant based oil
