Herb Pesto

Makes: 2 cups
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 7 min

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

• 1/4 cup lemon juice or lime
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• Add 2 tbsp olive oil (optional)
• 1 cup fresh oregano leaves
• 2 cups basil leaves
• 1 cup parsley chopped
• 1 cup Cilantro chopped
• 1 tsp sea salt
• black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Add the first 4 ingredients to the blender and process until well-broken down into somewhat of a paste, about 30 seconds or so.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until all is combined but still see a little of the texture of the herbs.
3. Stores in the fridge for a week or two.
4. Stir occasionally as the top might go darker but not to worry it's still good to eat.

Tip:

• You can omit the olive oil if you like.
