Paleo Mint & Herb Pesto

Bright, herby, and punchy with lemon, this triple-herb pesto is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Mint brings a cool freshness, basil adds its classic sweetness, and flat-leaf parsley rounds it all out with a clean, grassy depth — together they create something far more interesting than a single-herb sauce ever could. Traditional pesto often calls for parmesan and pine nuts, but this version skips both entirely and still delivers bold, satisfying flavor through quality olive oil, raw garlic, and a hit of lemon zest and juice. That makes it a natural fit for anyone eating grain-free and dairy-free without having to hunt down specialty substitutes or make any awkward swaps. The food processor does most of the work in under a minute, and the result is a coarse, spoonable paste that clings beautifully to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or cauliflower dishes. A tip worth following: press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the jar — it keeps the color vivid and the flavor fresh for longer.
