Coriander Pesto
This coriander pesto recipe is vegan, gluten free and garlic free and absolutely divine. If you're looking to try something new I highly recommend making this!

This herb has an acquired taste and I personally love it - it’s earthy and fragrant and the best bit is all its benefits! The pesto is perfect for eating with crudités or adding to your pasta for a unique, authentic twist on your normal basil pesto-pasta!
Coriander:
- reduces blood sugar
- several antioxidants which fight inflammation
- studies suggest it can reduce pain and bloating for patients with IBS
- contains antimicrobial compounds
- rich in fiber
- several vitamins: iron, manganese, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin K
Cashew nuts:
- lots of protein, fiber, healthy fats (omega 3)
Nutritional yeast - for a dairy free cheesy flavour
- contains vitamin B12 and the yeast cells are not live in this product (so if you’re sensitive to yeast like I am this shouldn’t be a problem!)
Spinach
- leafy greens that are packed with potassium, magnesium, carotenoids, folic acid, iron, calcium and vitamins B6, B9, C, K & E
Lemon
- lots of vitamin C
INGREDIENTS
3 cups spinach
2.5 cups coriander
3/4-2 cups cashew nuts (I've tested with different amounts and this quantity just depends on how creamy you want it!)
Juice from 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1.5 tsp salt
5 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp water

METHOD:
Add all the ingredients to a blender until combined and then serve on pasta, with crudités, with pizza or on toast

Super nutritious, ultra creamy and an exquisite, moreish flavour 🌱
