Ingredients
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the raw walnuts into a food processor and pulse until finely ground but not yet forming a paste.
Add the chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, and hemp hearts to the food processor. Pulse a few more times to combine.
Peel and roughly chop the garlic clove and add it to the food processor along with the fresh parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then add the water for a creamier texture.
Blend the mixture until smooth and spreadable, stopping to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed. Adjust consistency with additional water if too thick.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the Omega Spread to a clean jar or bowl and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 5 days.
