Pesto!

This is an easy paleo friendly pesto. Make a lot of it because it will go fast!

2 cups of (good quality) walnuts
4 cups of fresh basil
1/2 tsp. garlic powder (no salt)
1/2 tsp. of sea salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black peper
1-2 cloves of garlic (depending on how strong of a garlic flavor you like)
1 lemon
2/3 cup of (good quality) olive oil

First: In a food processor add walnuts, basil, garlic powder, salt, peper, clove(s) of garlic, 1/2 of the lemon, and 1/3 of the olive oil.
Then: Pulse ingredients, when it starts coming together, taste it. Does it seem too have a more pronounced oil flavor? If yes, add more lemon.
Next: Continue pulsing and stream in the rest of the oil. 

This pairs well with veggies and bacon! (or straight out of the bowl) :)
This also freezes well.
Enjoy!
