Turkey Free Mint & Herb Pesto

This triple-herb pesto is bright, bold, and completely plant-based — built entirely from fresh mint, basil, and flat-leaf parsley blitzed together with garlic, lemon, and good olive oil. The mint gives it an unexpected lift that sets it apart from the classic version, while the parsley keeps things grounded and the basil ties it all together. It comes together in a food processor in under a minute, making it one of those sauces that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. There's no poultry, no meat, no animal products of any kind — just herbs, citrus, and olive oil doing exactly what they do best. Spoon it over roasted vegetables, swirl it into pasta, spread it on flatbread, or use it as a dipping sauce for whatever you have on hand. The tip about pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface before storing is a small but smart move that keeps the color vivid and the flavor fresh for longer.
