I just love pesto and have multiple recipes for it! Check out my basic Paleo Dairy-Free Pesto too!
Paleo Gluten Free Pumpkin Seed Basil Pesto
Description
Pesto comes from a little region in Italy known as Liguria,which borders France. Legend has it that the word “pesto” comes from the way it was originally prepared, by mortar and pestle (mortaio e pestello). Why not have a charming traditional Italian experience and make this recipe with a pestle and mortar? Sounds like fun to me!

- 1 tbsp lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
