This keto pesto is so fresh and tasty! There are so many ways to use it as well. (I have pesto chicken casserole and cheesy pesto chicken soup recipes in the works BTW. Stay tuned.) 

There is a little prep involved like washing and drying the basil, toasting the pine nuts and boiling the cauliflower. Oh yea, the cauliflower. Did you know that many authentic Italian recipes call for a boiled potato? It gives the recipe a nice consistency and also soaks up all those amazing flavors. I subbed a few boiled cauliflower florets, and they worked perfectly! If you really hate cauliflower, you can omit them. 

One tip for this keto pesto: make a bunch and freeze it in an oversized ice cube tray! You can just pop out a cube and thaw when you’re ready for fresh homemade pesto!
