This dish is vegan

3 good sized bunches of fresh, organic basil

1/3 of a bunch of parsley

3/4 of a cup of walnuts

4 cloves of garlic (I like a lot. Use what suits your taste.)

5 tablespoons of macadamia nut oil

1 and 1/2 lemons or limes

1 teaspoon sea salt, lemon, pepper mix (Natural Grocers brand preferred.)

Blend in your high speed blender until you have your desired texture. I like my pesto as a purée.

This dish is better served in a warmer season or warm climate. I like to use edamame noodles, spaghetti squash, or zucchini noodles. Please feel free to use your favorite gluten free (gf) healthy pasta!

Basil is incredibly for reducing inflammation and clearing a damp system with congestion and too much mucus or “gunk” (as diagnosed in Chinese medicine). Also, please feel free to contact me about basil essential oils and their healing benefits. I am a certified Doterra Essential Oils Wellness Advocate.
