Easy Cashew Spinach Basil Pesto
Try this variation with cashews instead of pine nuts, with some spinach for added flavor and vibrancy!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups torn up fresh spinach
- ¾ cup torn up fresh basil
- ½ cup roasted salted cashews
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- Juice of ¼ lemon
- ⅓-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- crushed red pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to food processor.
- Blend until smooth.
- BAM: Pesto!
- Go light on the sea salt, since the cheese is pretty salty in itself, as are the cashews.
