Lemon Basil Pesto
Lemons are one of my most favorite ingredients and adding it to your pesto just adds another layer of flavor. Try it with limes instead of lemons for a zestier taste, and use any type of nut you desire!
What You’ll Need:
4 cups fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced,
3 Tablespoons pine nut or any nut of your choice
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
½ cup olive oil
What to Do:
In a food processor, add all ingredients except olive oil. Process all ingredients until finely chopped. Slowly add olive oil and process until pesto is at a nice consistency. Then, voila! You’ve got a delicious pesto that can be added to any pasta, protein or starch. The possibilities are endless!
