Almond Pesto
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves packed
- ½ cup roasted almonds
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add the basil, roasted almonds, parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the blender.
- Blend in short bursts, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the pesto is too thick, add a little more olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it smooths out. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
