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.

Hi, I’m Allianna. In my junior year of college I turned to Sarah Ballantyne’s Paleo Protocol and it saved my life. During that time I completely shifted and started to manage my autoimmune disease with food and lifestyle. Since then I have made it my mission to share my clean and real food recipes with you. On Allianna’s Kitchen you can expect to find paleo, Whole30, and AIP recipes as well as things I have learned along the way as my body has healed. I’m so excited to have you here.
