Almond Pesto
This homemade almond pesto recipe is easy to make with simple ingredients. Blend fresh basil and roasted almonds with olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper for a fresh, vibrant, and nutty sauce. This pesto recipe with almonds is a fun twist on classic basil pesto. Holding true to the traditional version, we're still using fresh basil, but swapping in almonds for pine nuts, and nutritional yeast for cheese.
