Skip the dairy, nuts and oil and try this simple Oil Free Pesto. I love a good Oil Free Pesto and the flavors it adds to pastas, wraps and pizzas. I was determined to figure out a pesto that didn’t break the macro bank but gave me everything I craved. This pesto does the trick. It’s garlicky and lemony and packs a punch. Try it on your next pizza, sandwich, wrap or mix it with some laughing cow wedges and make a creamy pasta.
Place all ingredients in a high speed blender (I use a single serve smoothie blender cup) or a food processor if you'd like the pesto chunky.Blend until you reach the desired texture. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed. You could also add cracked red pepper for some spice.
