Vegan Pesto

This super simple Pesto recipe is not only Vegan, it's also candida-diet/candida-cleanse approved. Sunday night I stirred it in with some grilled chicken and zucchini noodles (aka Zoodles) and it was d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. Honestly, it had me wondering why pesto needs any cheese at all.

Vegan Pesto

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
• 1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• salt to taste

Directions

1. Toast your pine nuts in a pan, just a quick splash around in a hot pan should do the trick.
2. Put all ingredients in a blender and blend.
3. Taste, add more salt, taste, add more salt... etc... until it tastes just right. You may also want to adjust the flavor with a splash more lemon. Both the salt and the lemon really run the flavor-show.

Wishing you good great health,
