Pesto is fast and easy, can be made with any greens including wild ones and can be used for anything from flavouring zucchini noodles to layering on top of raw crackers to stuffing baby tomatoes or mushrooms (my favourite).  I love the spiciness and freshness of baby arugula and now on the 1st of February am already starting to see some coming up in my garden.  I hope you enjoy the pesto as much as I always do.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups arugula, packed
• 1 cup basil, packed
• 3 cloves garlic
• ½ cup walnut, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan Salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 whole lemon, juiced

Instructions:

Process the pesto ingredients in a food processor, starting with the garlic to make sure that it is broken down

Taste and adjust for seasonings
