Nutritous, Delicious Almond Pulp Pesto

Substitute your almond or nut pulp in place of your typical pesto base, for a healthy boost for your favorite pasta dish or snack.

Ingredients: 

• 2 sprigs (about 4 oz) of fresh basil (more if you like your pesto super basil-y, you can use a whole store-bought container or bundle)
• Olive oil
• 1 Lemon
• Nutritional Yeast
• Garlic (3 cloves) 
• 2 cups almond pulp (I dehydrated mine beforehand, but works with wet almonds as well and may require less oil)

• Use a food processor or small blender
• Chop up the basil and garlic in the food processor first
• Add in the nutritional yeast and lemon juice from one lemon, followed by olive oil to achieve the right blending consistency
• Pulse or process until ingredients are mixed thorughout
• Enjoy! I use the pesto as a dip, but it's always good to add on top of pasta or zucchini noodles, salads, you name it.
