VEGAN LEMON BASIL PESTO-1

Make this delicious dairy-free pesto in the summertime when fresh basil is in season, and freeze in small containers for later use. This pesto is delicious served over cooked gluten-free noodles or baked fish. It also works well tossed with lightly steamed vegetables, or spread onto a baked gluten-free pizza crust.

Ingredients
½ cups pine nuts
2 cloves garlic peeled
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
½ teaspoons Herbamare (or sea salt)
3 cups packed fresh basil (about 6 ounces)
¼ cups extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

This turned out really really good. When I made it again I double to garlic and added about half a cup or more of fresh chives and I used roasted pumpkin seeds in place of the pinenuts. Depending on personal taste, whichever way you choose to make it, it is delicious. Thanks so much for the delicious dairy free pesto recipe😊👏
