Just minutes from garden to mouth! In no time you can be devouring this luscious cheese-free, oil-free PESTO made with basil, roasted red peppers, garlic, lemon, white beans and nutritional yeast—a fresh pesto sauce for pasta, spread on bread/wrap, salad dressing, or dip. Top it off with a tasty bruschetta of chopped tomatoes, garlic and balsamic! Enjoy!

1-3 cloves garlic

1/3 cup pine nuts or walnuts toasted (optional)

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Vegetable broth or water to bring mixture to desired consistency

Salt to taste
