Description
This quick and healthy Arugula Basil Pesto is so easy to make, full of fresh ingredients, and completely addictive!
Ingredients
- ½ cups Raw Cashews
- ¼ cups Pine Nuts
- 1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 2 cups Packed Fresh Arugula
- 1-½ cup Packed Fresh Basil
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Water
- ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoons Ground Sea Salt
Preparation
Add cashews, pine nuts and nutritional yeast to a food processor or high powered blender. Blend until the nuts are broken into very small pieces, as small as you can get them. You may need to stop blending every 15 seconds or so, to scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir.
Add arugula, basil, olive oil, water, garlic powder and sea salt. Blend until combined, scraping down sides and re-blending as necessary.
Use as a spread for sandwiches, or on french bread (my favorite). I’ve also eaten this on roasted spaghetti squash—perfection.
