- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup olive oil or more
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Pulse garlic in food processor until diced
- Add rest of ingredients (save the nutritional yeast) and pulse a couple more times to pulverize
- While on lowest speed, slowly pour in olive oil and combine until desired consistency. (I prefer a thicker pesto, if you would rather a smoother consistency experiment with adding more oil)
