Amazing Arugula Pesto (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Vegan • Makes 1 cup • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

If you know me, you know I love arugula! And this pesto is a delicious way to get more arugula in your diet. Use it in any recipe that calls for pesto. Or enjoy it as an appetizer. It’s perfect on my Seed Crackers or as a topping on gluten-free pasta or lasagna.

Ingredients

1/4 cup roasted almonds

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

1 cup arugula (packed into the cup)

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/3–1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (with a light taste)

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Wash and roughly chop the basil leaves.

(2) Blend the pesto: Put all ingredients in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until just blended. Add additional oil if you want to make it looser if you like. Use less oil if you like it a bit thicker.

(3) Plate and serve: Serve as a topping for my Seed Crackers or with your favorite veggies for dipping.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
