Homemade Almond Pesto

June 28, 2014 By Jessica Leave a Comment


A Beautiful and Simple Almond Pesto for all occasions.

Add it to Appetizers, Pasta, Pizza, Salad…. ANYTHING!


Almond Pesto

Pictured here is my Roasted Butternut Squash Bruschetta.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Parsley Leaves
  • 1 cup Basil Leaves
  • 1 cup Cilantro
  • ½ cup of sliced Almonds
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 medium cloves of Garlic
  • ½ tbsp. dried Red Chili Flakes
  • Juice of 1/2 Lemon
  • Roughly ½ cup of Olive Oil
  • Water as needed

Directions:

  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender.
  2. Process on high and add water as needed until your desired consistency.

Note: I like to let mine sit aside (in the fridge) for at least an hour to let the flavors blend.
