Arugula Walnut Pesto (Vegan)
This vegan arugula walnut pesto is thick, creamy and rich in flavor. As there is no cheese, it's vegan and healthier than the regular pesto.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (50 g) arugula washed and dried
- ¼ cup (30 g) walnuts
- 1 clove small garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- salt
- pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a tall container, put all the dry ingredients and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
- Using an immersion blender, chop the ingredients for a few minutes then pour in the extra virgin olive oil (a little at a time) and blend until creamy and smooth.
- If the arugula walnut pesto looks too thick, add more water until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Enjoy!
