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.
