    This creamy Whole30 pesto is quite delicious. The fresh basil combined with the lemon and nutritional yeast gives this paleo pesto sauce a nice cheesy flavor without cheese. This pesto recipe only takes minutes to make!

    Whole30 pesto ingredients: 

    • Pine nuts-This gives the pesto a nice and creamy texture. You can use walnuts but the pesto will not come out as creamy as it  would if you use pine nuts. 
    • Fresh basil-I love using my fresh basil from my garden!
    • Olive oil-My go to fat of choice.
    • Garlic-To add some flavor.
    • Lemon juice-This makes this whole30 pesto, do not skip this!
    • Nutritional yeast-Nutritional yeast is widely used in dairy free/ paleo cooking because it gives dishes a nice cheesy flavor.

    What should I serve this with?

    • So many different things! I love fresh pesto on so many dishes from chicken salad, to my salads, steak,  and even salmon.

    What kind of food processor do you use?

    • I love my ninja food processor! I have had it for years and it works super well. It is super simple to wash. I just rinse it and place it in the dishwasher. I use this one HERE.
