Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add almonds, garlic, spinach, basil, and salt to your food processor and pulse for 10 seconds.
  • With the motor still running, pour the olive oil in through the top. If mixture gets stuck add 1-2 tablespoon of water.
  • Store pesto in a jar in the refrigerator for 5-7 days, or place it in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

Substitutions: Can use kale instead of spinach, can use avocado oil instead of olive oil (olive oil will provide more flavor though), can add 2 tablespoon parmesan/vegan parmesan if you want
