  • 1 tsp salt
  • water
  • 2. Creamy Nut Free Pesto:
  • 1 bunch of basil, washed, dried & leaves picked

  • 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 50gm parmesan cheese grated or cut into small chunks (if using a blender/food processor)

  • 1 cup EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) or Avocado Oil

  • 1 tsp dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar, I use Bragg's Organic Raw ACV)
  • Good pinch of sea salt
Instructions
  1. Mix tahini, lemon juice & salt
  2. Add enough water to make a 'sauce' consistency
  3. Taste and adjust as required
  4. Place all ingredients except water in a food processor, blender or magic bullet
  5. Blend until smooth
  6. Store in a closed jar with a little olive oil to cover the top
  7. When ready to use, mix with some hot water to help the sauce combine with the raw veggie noodles or if using with cooked veggie noodles, you won't need the water
  8. Add some left over protein like chicken or some eggs
  9. Measure out the oil and set aside
  10. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients except the oil
  11. Using a ballon whisk, combine all the ingredients
  12. Very slowly, gradually drip the oil in whilst continuously whisking
  13. Keep going until a creamy consistency is made
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference (if too tart, add more oil, if too bland, add more salt and ACV etc)
