Pesto (WFPB, no oil, vegan)

With an abundance of basil in our garden, this has become our go to for a quick pesto recipe from Oh She Glows.  We usually double it for our family of 5.  Tastes great on pasta, in wraps, on crackers, or a spoon!  Pairs well with this plant-based cheese, by far our favorite cheese!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves 
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 15-oz can navy/cannellini beans (1.5 cups)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (1/2 lemon) I used 3 tbsp
  • 1/2-3/4 tsp kosher salt (I used 3/4 tsp)
  • You can add olive oil to taste if you prefer!

Directions
Add garlic clove to processor and process until finely chopped. Now add in the rest of the ingredients to taste and process until smooth, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
