Vegan Basil Pest0
*Vegan and Gluten Free
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup Basil Leaves
1 TBSP Angel Foods Cheesy Sauce Mix Powder
2-3 Kale Leaves - chopped (stalks removed)
1 small Garlic Cloves - finely chopped (optional)
1/2 cup (or a bit less) Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of 1 Lemon
1/2 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt
Place all ingredients into a blender and pulse to combine. Do not over pulse as you want the cashews to stay a little chunky. I suggest a little under 1/2 a cup of Olive Oil but just play with this amount to get your desired consistency.
Garlic clove is optional if you don't like the flavour of Garlic.
