Pistachio Pesto

Jul 24, 2017

Hello Folks, It’s hard to beat the classic flavors of basil pesto made with pine nuts and parmesan cheese, but we decided to give this traditional Italian sauce a zesty, dairy-free spin using nutty pistachios, cooling mint, bright lemon, and cheesy nutritional yeast. Use it to make a quick weeknight meal when tossed with pasta, or drizzle it over a bowl of polenta topped with a fried egg. If you make the pesto in advance, just drizzle a light layer of oil over the top before refrigerating, to help prevent browning.

2 cups packed fresh basil ¼ cup fresh mint leaves ½ cup Thrive Market Roasted and Salted Pistachios 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast Zest of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon sea salt ½ teaspoon Thrive Market Whole Black Peppercorns, freshly ground ½ cup Thrive Market Extra Virgin Olive Oil
