Caffeine Free Basil & Olive Pesto

Bright, herby, and briny all at once, this pesto is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Packed basil leaves form the fragrant backbone, while pitted green olives add a savory depth that sets this version apart from the classic pine nut style. A hit of fresh lemon juice and zest keeps the whole thing lifted and vibrant, and a slow drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil brings it together into a silky, textured sauce. The food processor does most of the heavy lifting — just pulse, drizzle, and taste. Optional parsley nudges it toward something even fresher if you have a handful on hand. Toss it with pasta, spread it on crusty bread, swirl it into soup, or spoon it over roasted vegetables — it's endlessly versatile and comes together in minutes. Best of all, every ingredient here is completely clean and naturally free of stimulants, so you can enjoy it any time of day without a second thought.
