This dairy-free and gluten-free Vegan Arugula Pesto is a flavorful twist on traditional pesto. The peppery arugula adds a unique taste, while nutritional yeast gives it a cheesy flavor without any dairy. It's perfect for tossing with pasta, spreading on sandwiches, or using as a dip.
Ingredients: 2 cups fresh arugula leaves. 1/2 cup raw walnuts. 2 cloves garlic. 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Juice of 1 lemon. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a food processor, combine arugula, walnuts, garlic, and nutritional yeast. Pulse until finely chopped. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in olive oil and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and blend again briefly to incorporate. Transfer the pesto to a jar or container, and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
