Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Pine nuts
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Soy-free mayonnaise
Instructions
Start by toasting the pine nuts to enhance their flavor. Place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes or until they become fragrant and lightly golden brown. Remove from the heat and let them cool slightly.
In a food processor, add the fresh basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Pulse a few times to combine and break down the ingredients.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil, and blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure even blending.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the pesto mix. Pulse again to combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Transfer the prepared pesto into a mixing bowl. Add the soy-free mayonnaise to the bowl and stir well until fully integrated with the pesto.
Once the ingredients are well mixed, transfer your soy-free pesto mayonnaise into a storage container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve as a spread for sandwiches, a topping for grilled meats, or a dip for vegetables to enjoy the rich flavors.
