Coconut Basil Pesto

Ingredients

2 cup organic basil leaves (chopped)

1/4-1/3 organic olive oil (to taste)

1/4 cup dried organic coconut (available in the bulk section at the co-op or Whole Foods)

5 walnut halves

2 cloves garlic

1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until it is a desired consistency (you can puree entirely or leave it a little chunky). (Also, if you find that you pureed too much, just add some finely chopped basil).
