Coconut Free Mint & Herb Pesto

Bright, herby, and punchy with citrus, this pesto is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Three fresh herbs — mint, basil, and flat-leaf parsley — come together in the food processor with garlic, lemon zest, and a splash of lemon juice, creating layers of flavor that feel both familiar and a little unexpected. The whole thing is held together with good extra-virgin olive oil, which gives it that glossy, spoonable texture you want to drag crusty bread through or swirl into pasta. Store-bought pestos can be a minefield of unexpected add-ins, but this one is completely transparent — just clean, whole ingredients you can see and taste. The food processor does the heavy lifting in under a minute, so you're not standing over a mortar and pestle for half the afternoon. It keeps beautifully in a jar with plastic wrap pressed right against the surface, so you can make a batch ahead and reach for it all week long.
