Quick and Easy Vegan Pesto
makes about 1 cup
Ingredients-
2 c. Fresh Herbs/Greens - I like to either do all basil or do basil and spinach
1/2 c. Walnuts or Pine Nuts
2 Cloves Garlic
1/4 c. Olive Oil
Salt to taste
Nutritional Yeast to taste (optional for a cheesy flavor)
Directions-
Add herbs/greens, nuts and garlic to food processor. Process until it is well mixed. Add olive oil in a steady drizzle as you run your food processor until it becomes a smooth paste. Season with salt to taste.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before use for the flavors to develop.

I just made this two minutes ago, and I must say as mt first attempt at anything not microwavable, it came out pretty freakin' good. Thank you so much!
