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
