Step 1

Take a food processor or blender jar.

Step 2

Add almonds or cashews, garlic, black pepper powder, salt, olive oil, and lemon juice to the food processor.

Step 3

Blend these ingredients into a rough paste, which will be the pesto's base.

Step 4

Now add basil leaves to the food processor and blend it continuously until you reach the desired consistency. If you wish, you can grind it into a smooth paste. I like it to be a little chunkier.

Step 5

Transfer this vegan pesto sauce into clean, dry glass jars or airtight containers. Top the basil pesto with some olive oil to prevent oxidization.

Step 6

Enjoy this vegan basil pesto with cashews/almonds that is flavorful and delicious.
