Parsley Pesto


Ingredients
  • 2 cups tightly-packed flat leaf parsley leaves
  • 3/4 cup toasted chopped walnuts or cashews (or other nuts)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 large cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
Place everything in a food processor or blender. Blend on high until it forms a smooth consistency.

Pesto is a very forgiving mixture. If you can’t have nuts or dairy, feel free to omit them and change the recipe as you would like. 
Stores in the fridge for a few days or can be frozen portion size.

Serving Suggestions

  • Combine with cream cheese to make a dip
  • Pulse one cup of the pesto with 1 cup unsalted butter to make an herb-walnut butter, which is great melted onto grilled meats or folded into mashed potatoes.
  • Spread on sandwilches. 
  • Serve with pasta
