Ingredients

¼ cup 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup 25 g soy parmesan, or parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups 80 g fresh basil leaves
¼ cup 30 g walnuts
1½ Tablespoon pine nuts
¼ lemon peeled
½ teaspoon salt, optional

With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the lemon, leaving just the flesh.
Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in order listed and secure the lid.
Pulse the blender by rapidly turning the dial to its lowest speed setting and then off again. Repeat until desired texture is achieved. Use the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades, stopping as need to scrape the sides of the container.
For a smooth texture start the blender on its lowest speed and quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 30 to 45 seconds, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
