Easy 5-Ingredient Hemp Seed Pesto

March 28, 2014 by Margaret 15 Comments

One of my absolute favorite recipes for snack time! Totally versatile, you can add it to pasta, toast, pizza and use it for dipping. It’s so flavorful and hello, that vibrant green color is amazing! Give it a go and feel free to add in sun-dried tomato to kick it up a notch!

    I’m about to start a migraine trigger free diet. As a result I can’t have any nuts. Do you think subbing the pine nuts with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seed will work for this recipe?

    The basil growing on my windowsill almost has enough leaves to make this . . . I’ll be on it as soon as it’s ready! Thanks for sharing!

    Lovely but pine nuts cost so much here! I doubt 2 cups for eight euros!
    Is there a nut I could use which would work well with this do you think?

      I’m so sorry, I completely understand. I actually have a recipe for a different variation that could work better for you – Kale & Sunflower Seed Pesto. I actually prefer this one, hope it helps <3
