Wheat Free Mint & Herb Pesto

This vibrant, herb-forward pesto is a breath of fresh air — literally. Packed with mint, basil, and flat-leaf parsley, it delivers a bright, layered flavor that feels both familiar and a little unexpected. The lemon zest and fresh lemon juice cut through the richness of the extra-virgin olive oil, keeping every spoonful lively and clean on the palate. Traditional pesto can be a minefield for anyone avoiding wheat, since store-bought versions sometimes sneak in additives or are processed on shared lines with gluten-containing products. This one is made entirely from whole, naturally grain-free ingredients, so there's nothing to second-guess. Just herbs, garlic, citrus, and good olive oil — that's the whole list. The food processor does all the heavy lifting, and the technique of streaming in the oil while the machine runs gives you that perfectly coarse, spoonable texture that clings to pasta, grilled vegetables, or crusty bread alternatives beautifully. A quick press of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before storing keeps it looking and tasting fresh. Once you've made it, you'll find yourself reaching for it all week.
