Healthy Vegan Pesto (oil and refined salt free)

Posted bymindfulnutrition4uPosted inUncategorized

Wow!!! Wonder what happens when putting together 2 of the most influential healthy food advocates in a dish? A nutritious and delicious raw courgette zoodle inspired by @wildfoodcafe and the healthiest pesto I’ve ever made, inspired by @nutrition_facts_org. It is vegan, oil and unrefined salt free! It’s zingy, refreshing, great for pastas, toasts and also as a healthy dip. 😋🥰💙🍀

RECIPE
2 cups of baby spinach
2 cups of basil leaves
4 garlic cloves
1 small tomato cut in 4
1 cup of walnuts (for nut free use raw pumpkin seeds instead)
1 lemon juice (about 2 Tbsp)
1 Tbsp of white miso paste (salt substitute)
2 Tbsp of nutritional yeast (optional)
2 Tbsp of water


METHOD
Add all the ingredients into a food processor and mix it well until it has a pesto consistency.

Store in a jar in the fridge for 7 days of can be frozen for 3 months.


In this recipe I used it with a courgette zoodle pasta and baby plum tomatoes.


If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a potato peeler and make ribbons instead.

I hope you enjoy if!

Lots of love and gratitude!!!

My name is Naiane. I am a 41 year old food lover and recipe developer. I spend most of my free time testing, experimenting and having fun, creating new and replicating old recipes with a twist and lots of love! I was born in Brazil and I grow up in a very traditional Italian family in a small town in South of Brazil. My mum's side of the family is Italian and my dad's a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese. I feel very privileged to have these background and be able to implement the love and passion for food as much as those countries are passionate about. Moved to London after I finished International Relations at University in 2004 and I always worked in the food industry! I have a 6 year old son who loves to taste my recipes and he is a very serius critic of my dishes :) I aim to cater for everyone and every dietary requirement. As my Mamma always says "when you cook with love, you can taste it in the food".
