BASIL PESTO VINAIGRETTE

Yield: 10

Author: ROOT Mindful Nutrition

I am not a big fan of dressings in general, as they are normally loaded with sugars and honestly a salad can taste so good with olive oil, lemon and sea salt crystals. That being said, I wanted to use fresh Basil to make something new and tasty. I came across this basil pesto vinaigrette which I adapted to my taste to share with you. It is healthy, and absolutely delicious. It is the perfect salad dressing to have in your fridge for the week and make raw vegetables taste better!. You could even pour it over a cold pasta salad! I will make a kale/Brussel sprout salad tomorrow to combine with this dressing...

Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh Basil leaves
• 1/3 cup Raw Cashew (pre-soaked and drained)
• 1 Tbsp Nutritional yeast (or parmesan if you want to use dairy)
• 1/2 cup Olive oil
• 1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
• 1 small clove Garlic
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper (a pinch)
• 1/4 cup Water (or more if you like it more diluted)

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a Food processor and blend until you reach desired consistency.
2. Taste and adjust if needed. a drop of apple cider vinegar might be a good addition...
