Raw Cashew Pesto

After consuming my weight in pasta and pesto one pre-season training trip to Switzerland, I had to take a 6 year hiatus from the stuff (pesto, definitely NOT pasta <3) Thank G my love for it is back, although now I have learned to moderate my consumption habits. This particular pesto is simple to make as long as you have a food processor. I found this recipe on http://littlehealthmonster.blogspot.com/2010/09/raw-vegan-cashew-pesto.html

Cashew Basil Pesto:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw cashews
• 2 cups chopped basil
• 1-2 garlic cloves (depends on taste, I used 1.5)
• 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (I used Himalayan) 
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 4 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons water

Blend all together!!! I put mine on my raw bread sandwiches as well as over quinoa with a fried egg and fresh, chopped tomatoes. Delicious and easy.
