This vibrant, herb-forward pesto is a serious upgrade from anything you'd find in a jar at the grocery store. Three fresh herbs ā mint, basil, and flat-leaf parsley ā come together with bright lemon zest and good olive oil to create something that tastes alive and deeply aromatic. The mint gives it an unexpected lift that makes it feel lighter and more interesting than a classic basil-only version. Because it's built entirely from whole, naturally gluten-free ingredients, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden wheat-based fillers that sometimes sneak into store-bought condiments. A food processor does all the heavy lifting, and the whole thing comes together in just a few pulses and a slow drizzle of olive oil. Spoon it over grilled chicken, toss it with zucchini noodles, swirl it into soup, or spread it on a rice cracker ā the possibilities are genuinely endless. Store it with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface and it stays bright and fresh until you're ready to use it again.

Add the mint, basil, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 8ā10 times until the herbs are coarsely chopped and the garlic is broken down.
With the processor running, pour the olive oil through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream until the pesto comes together into a coarse, spoonable paste ā about 20ā30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, then pulse once or twice more to incorporate any remaining herb pieces.
