Paleo Pesto


Here is a sauce or a dip that will make any vegetable or
protein more exciting. While different regions of Italy have
their own traditional pesto recipes, the one common thread
is often the inclusion of Parmesan or Asiago cheese.
We’ve mixed it up to make this recipe Paleo perfect.
MAKES ½ CUP


1 cup loosely packed basil leaves, stems removed
and discarded
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste.

Combine basil leaves, oils, lemon juice, and garlic in a food
processor. Blend until thoroughly combined. Add freshly
ground black pepper.
