Yeast Free Mint & Herb Pesto
Bright, herby, and bursting with freshness, this triple-herb pesto is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Mint joins forces with basil and flat-leaf parsley for a flavor combination that's cooling, aromatic, and just a little unexpected ā in the best possible way. A hit of lemon zest and fresh lemon juice keeps things vibrant, while good extra-virgin olive oil pulls it all into a lush, spoonable paste. Because the whole thing comes together in a food processor with nothing but whole, clean ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden additives or fermented components that can sneak into store-bought versions. It's naturally free of anything cultured or leavened ā just herbs, garlic, citrus, and oil doing exactly what they do best. Toss it with pasta, swirl it into soup, spread it over grilled chicken, or use it as a dipping sauce ā honestly, it's hard to find something it doesn't improve.
