INGREDIENTS

4 cloves garlic

1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium)

1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)

1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)

2 cups packed fresh cilantro  (vitamin A)

4 tablespoons lemon juice (vitamin C)

2 tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil

2/3 cup flaxseed oil or Avocado oil

Sea salt to taste 

DIRECTIONS

Add all ingredients to your Vita-mix or food processor.. Then add oil and sea salt as desired, I think more is better with this pesto. Blend well. Store in the fridge.  Add to spaghetti squash, pizza crusts, pastas or whatever sounds good!

    Yuuuummm!! I made this tonight and baked it in the oven over some chicken breast and melted raw cheese on top. My whole family loved it- even the non loving cilantro lovers & my 3 year old so. I will be sure to make this a regular in our house from now on.
