From Basil to Nut-Free Pesto


For years Elsa had to be on an Autoimmune Protocol [AIP] diet to lower inflammation and food sensitivities. During that time, we learned that nuts are not needed to make delicious pesto!

Simply start with organically grown basil, which is so easy to grow in your own garden! Combine all the following ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Then use as you would any pesto.

~ I like a thin layer on my tortilla before making a wrap.
~ For flavorful chicken strips, toss chicken tenderloins in pesto before grilling.
~ Tell me your favorite use for pesto in the comments. I can use more ideas!



Pesto (AIP)

4 cups basil
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
3 T olive oil
1/4 cup canned artichokes, drained
1 T lemon juice

Makes about 1 cup pesto. Lasts some weeks in refrigerator. Freeze extra pesto in blocks in muffin tins, pop out when solid and freeze until you need another block out for use.
