Katie's Favorite Pesto


I was inspired to play with garlic on this incredibly cold day!

Hemp Seed Pesto

1c hemp seeds
2c fresh basil
4 cloves garlic
1c extra virgin olive oil *
juice of 1/2 lemon
dash of sea salt
love

* may also use 1/2 c olive oil and 1/2 c hemp oil

Process hemp seeds, basil, garlic and 1/2 c olive oil in the food processor. Scrape down sides. Add lemon juice and sea salt. Turn the processor back on and pour in remaining 1/2 c olive oil while running.

Enjoy over top of gluten-free pasta, as a spread for wraps or flax crackers, as a dip for fresh cut veggies, or eat it all alone with a spoon!
