Ingredients

2 cloves garlic

6 cups arugula

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

In a bowl of a food processor, process garlic until nicely chopped. Next add in the arugula and basil and continue to process until leaves are minced. Add in the walnuts, olive oil, lemon juice and nutritional yeast. Season with salt & pepper to taste and process until the pesto is smooth and creamy.
