Dairy Free Pesto Recipe

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: sunflower seeds

💰Cheaper: pumpkin seeds

Sunflower seeds are more affordable and provide a similar texture.

nutritional yeast

🥗Healthier: brewer's yeast

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Brewer's yeast is a less expensive option that still adds umami flavor.

Combine basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor.

Pulse until finely chopped.

Add nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Pulse to combine, scraping down the sides as needed.

With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil until smooth.

Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
