lhenkin Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Is there a commercially available pesto that is whole30 approved? I've been checking labels and they all seem to have cheese... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaela Elmore Cogswell Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I would doubt it since the recipe calls for cheese. You can make your own http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/basil-pesto-recipe2/index.html just drop the cheese out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've seen it commercially without cheese, unfortunately it was made with canola oil. I second the suggestion to make your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So easy to make, I winged mine based on the Clothes Make the Girl recipe. You can use any nut, I've tried walnuts and macadamias, low and high garlic, extra virgin olive oil and mild olive oil. Freshest basil makes the taste Pesto's great on everything, even salad It'll keep longer with an olive oil layer sealing the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennrider Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I made a bunch from a bumper crop of basil last summer. I didn't use nuts, so maybe pesto is the wrong name. Just used basil, garlic and olive oil. I froze it in little jars. It's great on fish. We had a spicy batch that I think is the result of the cayenne pepper I put around the garden to keep squirrels away. Some of the tomatoes also had a bite to them. Crazy things happen in my garden. I'm growing all kinds of squash and tomatoes that must have come from the compost because I didn't plant them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
