Pesto has to be one of my most beloved spreads. I slather it on sandwiches, dip my veggies, and gluten-free crackers in it all the time. I'm a die hard pesto person and this is the best pesto recipe in the world!

2 cups basil

1 drop of Basil essential oil

3 tbsp traditional yeast

1 tsp lemon juice

5 drops of lemon essential oil

1 drop of Black Pepper esential oil
