No pine nuts? No problem. This walnut pesto is just as creamy and flavourful with ground walnuts, fresh basil, olive oil, salt, pepper, zesty lemon and nutritional yeast.

You can enjoy this recipe with or without nutritional yeast, depending on your preference. However I highly recommend it if you enjoy a classic cheesy pesto.

Because this recipe (like all of my recipes) is dairy-free, it is much lighter on the tummy than traditional pesto and contains a great source of omega-3, biotin, manganese, molybdenum, vitamin E and B6. Keeping your head, heart and hair, healthy and happy, not to mention it’s ready in minutes.

Whether you’re plant-based, vegan, dairy-free or not, I think you’re going to love this recipe!
