Easy Keto Macadamia Pesto
This easy keto macadamia pesto is so fresh and tasty. I put it on everything from vegetables to chicken. I use macadamia nuts in this recipe, but you can substitute for any nut. Macadamia nuts are chalk full of healthy fats. If you choose, nuts can even be completely omitted, but living keto it's all about the healthy fats.
Ingredients
- 1 C Fresh packed basil leaves
- 1/4 C Macadamia nuts
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic
- 1/4 C Parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions
- Pack your fresh basil into one full measuring cup.
