Raw Walnut Pesto Stuffed Peppers

This raw pesto is delicious and can be used in many dishes. I stuffed mini sweet bell peppers, tomatoes, and button mushrooms. When I make these I’m sure to have extra for easy grab and go food – eating raw can be easy provided you plan ahead.




1 cup raw walnuts, soaked and drained

2 TB raw pine nuts

¼ cup raw cashews

2 TB nutritional yeast

1 TB lemon juice

1-2 fresh garlic cloves, minced

1 TB olive oil

as much fresh sweet basil as you like

sea salt to taste


Blend all ingredients to desired consistency. I tend to keep my pesto thick and coarse so it has texture for stuffing vegetables.
