A creamy dairy-free pesto that pairs perfectly with fish, chicken, or as a dip!

Ingredients

  • 40g fresh basil leaves (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds
  • 1/8 cup olive oil (for a whole food variation, use 1/2 avocado instead)
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/2 cup water add extra 1/2 cup for thinner consistency
  • 1/2 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
