Alkaline Vegan Basil, Dandelion & Watercress Pesto

written by notetoiris May 30, 2020
Dandelions pesto recipe by notetoiris

Since we have plenty of time at the moment, we decided to go foraging for dandelion leaves! And to create this pesto with a combination of basil, dandelion leaves and watercress.

I’ve also added walnuts and brazil nuts to give it a nutty taste and texture. Using olive oil to bring it all together. You can swap this for avocado oil or your oil of choice but I used extra virgin olive oil.

Collect your dandelion leaves somewhere safe, not by the side of the road and make sure you wash them well!

Notes

You can add garlic, although it isn't considered alkaline. Pesto can be frozen in ice cube trays and pop out individual serves and defrost as needed or store frozen pesto cubes in an airtight freezer bag in freezer.
