Recipe: Walnut-Olive Pesto
From the Vitality Food Feature ‘Freshen Up Your Spring Menu with Plant-Based Meals‘.
(Makes ½ cup)
Ingredients
- ½ cup walnuts
- ¼ cups pitted black olives
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive or avocado oil
1) In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine walnuts, olives, and thyme. Pulse for 10 seconds to coarsely chop. With the motor running, add the oil through the opening in the lid and process just until combined. Use more or less oil to make the pesto spreadable.
2) Scrape into a small bowl and set aside. You can make this up to 3 days ahead and store, covered in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature to use.
