Name: Raw Walnut & Basil Pesto
Prep time: 5 min
Ingredients: INGREDIENTS; 2 large bunches of basil; 2 cups of walnuts; 1 medium size vine tomato; 1/2 red bell pepper; 3 garlic cloves; 1 pinch of celtic or himalayan salt

This mouth-watering pesto is also a liver-friendly and hair-boosting food. I’d much rather savor this than swallow supplement pills, wouldn’t you?

It’s essentially made of raw walnuts and basil. Walnuts are super rich in zinc, copper and vitamin B9 (folate) which makes them fantastic hair food. Plus they’re liver-friendly and we know a healthy liver is crucial for an all around gorgeous bod. I like to keep ready-made servings of this tasty spread in my fridge at all times (except when I’m on a juice fast or I wouldn’t last a day!). It’s not as dense as your typical nut cheese because of all the added goodies: the leafy basil and juicy tomato and bell pepper. They give it a smoother, more spreadable texture without the need to add any oil.

This raw walnut and basil pesto is also the best pizza topping ever! It’s absolutely scrumptious on my all-time fave gluten-free pizza crust (get the recipe here). I typically serve it with a raw – and dairy-free – sunflower ricotta (super delish too!) but I like having options and double good reasons to eat raw pizza!

Love Italian comfort food as much as I do? Bite into my most popular (and super healthy) raw Italian creations. I share them in my new eBook, A Week’s Worth of Raw Italian!

A Week’s Worth Of RAW ITALIAN

Enjoy a week’s worth of Raw Italian for less than $1 a day! Who doesn’t love Italian comfort food! Pizza, lasagna, ravioli, cannelloni, spaghetti. So tasty! But not exactly screaming healthy, right? Wrong. Gluten-free, daiy-free, pasta-free but oh so yummy! Ndoema’s re-mastered Italian classics are insanely delish and a healthy foodie’s dream. Enjoy with no moderation 😉
