Basil Arugula Almond Pesto (low histamine)

Pair this dairy and gluten-free pesto with your favorite pasta for a quick dinner. My favorite is Jovial Foods or Eat Banza.

 

INGREDIENTS

 

🌱 1-2 c arugula

 

🌿 ¾ oz fresh basil (add more if you’d like – this is what I had at hand)

 

🌰 ½ c roasted almonds (if they’re salted, wait to add the salt until after you’ve added and processed all of the other ingredients). I usually roast them myself.

 

🌱 Pink peppercorns, to taste

 

🧂 ½ tsp salt, to taste

 

🫒 ⅔-½ c olive oil

 

🧄 3 garlic cloves

 

DEETS

 

Add all ingredients to a food processor. Process until all ingredients are broken down, and add a drizzle of olive oil if it’s too dry before scooping it out.

PRO-TIP: I love to add 1-2 tsp of pesto to egg scrambles.

**To keep it low-histamine, I subbed the apple cider vinegar the crust calls for, with fresh pomegranate juice/can also sub with half tsp lime juice.**

 

**GF/DF/LOW-HISTAMINE (I followed mastcell360 low histamine foods list very strictly initially, then added some foods from the SIGHI list as I began to tolerate more foods, all under the care of a dietitian. A low histamine diet is restrictive and not meant to be followed long-term, as nutrient deficiencies may develop.)**
