Both flat leaf Italian or curly pesto are great options.<\/li><li><strong>Cheese: <\/strong>Parmesan and pecorino cheeses are traditionally used in pesto, but you can use a vegan alternative like nutritional yeast&#8230;or completely omit cheese altogether if you&#8217;d like.<\/li><li><strong>Pine nuts:<\/strong> Traditional pesto calls for pine nuts, however you can substitute for other nuts like almonds, pistachios, or walnuts. You can also opt for pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free pesto alternative.<\/li><li><strong>Garlic: <\/strong>Garlic cloves lend flavor and texture to pesto sauce.<\/li><li><strong>Lemon: <\/strong>We&#8217;re using both lemon juice and lemon zest, however if you don&#8217;t have a full lemon you can use just lemon juice from concentrate.<\/li><li><strong>Olive oil: <\/strong>Oil is what helps keep the sauce components suspended and blends the flavors. We recommend extra virgin olive oil.<\/li><li><strong>Seasoning:<\/strong> Salt and pepper are added for flavor; add as much or as little as desired, but our recommended serving sizes are in the recipe card.<\/li><li><strong>Recommended tools:<\/strong> food processor or blender<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"bunch of homegrown parsley\" class=\"wp-image-301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/bunch-of-parsley.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Homegrown parsley from our garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-make-lemon-parsley-pesto-step-by-step-photos\">\ud83e\udd63 How to make lemon parsley pesto (step-by-step photos)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-step-one-add-all-ingredients-except-olive-oil-to-a-blender\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 Step One: Add all ingredients except olive oil to a blender<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the parsley, pin nuts, garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-step-two-pulse-until-mixed-and-add-olive-oil\">2\ufe0f\u20e3 Step Two: Pulse until mixed and add olive oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulse the blender or food processor 4-5 times to chop the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then slowly add in the olive oil, pulsing periodically until the ingredients are mixed and the sauce is at your desired consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/lemon-parsley-pesto-127513967-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"parsley pesto in a mason jar on a wood table with a bunch of parsley\" class=\"wp-image-1939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/lemon-parsley-pesto-127513967-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/lemon-parsley-pesto-127513967-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/lemon-parsley-pesto-127513967-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gf-veg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/lemon-parsley-pesto-127513967.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"questions-quick-tips\">\u2753 Questions + quick tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1644623383871\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use parsley instead of basil for pesto?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Parsley makes a great pesto if you don&#8217;t have basil on hand!
