Edamame Pesto

Pesto is already wonderful. Fragrant, green, I feel like it just makes anything you put it on a little bit fancier.

Anyway, here's the recipe:

Edamame Pesto

1 cup cooked Edamame (shelled, of course) I bought the bag from Trader Joe's frozen section and followed the package.

About 2 handfuls of fresh basil leaves

1 clove garlic

2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Salt and Pepper

And that's it! Put everything in a food processor and ta-da! A plant based, dairy free, full of protein....Pesto. Yum yum.

Now what to do with it? Well friends, that's up to you.

You could put it on some crusty bread, maybe use it as a spread in a sandwhich (with smoked tofu and arugula)

Maybe put it on some sauteed veggies?

Maybe add those veggies with some more pesto to some pasta, for a portable lunch.

The possibilities are endless! Enjoy :)
