Low Carb Dairy Free Basil Pesto Sauce Recipe

If you love pesto as much as I do, you know it’s a fabulous way to add flavor to so many dishes!

But since giving up dairy, I’ve been missing that particular flavor a lot. I mean, it just goes with so many things! Pasta dishes, meats and even on toast!

So I had about enough of missing one of my favorite sauces and got busy in the kitchen coming up with a diary free version which is naturally low in carbs and high in fats. My kind of sauce all the way around!

This pesto sauce is fresh, natural, homemade and will keep for up to 2 weeks in your fridge or up to 4 months in your freezer.

Recipe Notes:
You can use all olive oil. I just don’t care for a heavy olive oil flavor, which is why I subbed half of the oil with a lighter flavored oil. But you can use whichever oil(s) you prefer.
