Rosemary Hemp Seed Pesto

A fairly brief post today - basically to share with you one of my new favorite sauces I made last night!  I think I will call it Rosemary Hemp Seed Pesto! 

In my Vitamix I put...
1 T Lemon Juice
1/3 C Hemp Seeds
1 T Grapeseed Oil
1 teaspoon of Rosemary
1/2 tea Turmeric
1/4 C Nutritional Yeast
1/4 C Onion Shoots (Sprouts from the tops of Onions)
Pinch of Cayene

* You could use Green Onions or Chives instead of the Onion Shoots, I suppose!

This turned out SUPER tasty!  Even better than I expected!  And surprise, surprise...I didn't even use Garlic!  That just might be a first!

I put this on the remaining Pasta-Oh's I've had for a while now...I finally finished them off!  YAY!  And I added a handful of Frozen Peas to it, too!

I did enjoy the hint of Cayenne in there and think I might add more next time because I enjoyed it so much!

This is a sauce or a Pesto-like alternative I can see myself making a lot of!  I really want to try it on Broccoli and/or Cauliflower!

Speaking of Cauliflower...my Roasted Coconut Curry Cauliflower was featured on Urban Naturale's Pot Luck Party from last week!   Thanks, girl!

  1. That looks great. I plan on making some type of veggie noodle dish within the week. I most likely will swap to all raw once things are ready to pick in the garden. I already feel great with my whole food lifestyle, but will admit when I was raw for a year that took put me on an entirely different plane, loved it!
