Dairy-free Pesto

Most pestos are made with lots of basil and yummy feta cheese.  My version is by necessity dairy-free and still has lots of yummy flavor.  I've found that kale also makes a great pesto base.  Measurements are loose guidelines - feel free to play around.


1/2 chopped nuts (I usually use pecans or almonds as we typically have those)
2 tsp lemon juice (add more for taste)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2-3 cups packed greens - spinach, basil, kale, lettuce, or some combination of those

Add all ingredients in food processor with a small drizzle of olive or avocado oil.  Blend together, adding water to thin to your preference.

Serve with pasta, on a salad, pizza, etc.

Here's a link to another version of this recipe that I like:  https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-pesto-5-minutes/
