Arugula Pesto Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this recipe:

  • Arugula, of course! It gives the sauce a spicy, earthy flavor.
  • Cashews – I use them in place of the traditional pine nuts to give the pesto a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Extra-virgin olive oil – For richness.
  • Fresh lemon juice – It makes the pesto nice and bright.
  • Water – It helps the pesto blend into a smooth puree.
  • Garlic – For sharp, savory bite.
  • And salt and pepper – To make all the flavors pop!
    Ingredients
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • Heaping ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
