Ingredients

Juice from one fresh lemon 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

3 cups basil leaves, washed and dried 

1 cup fresh mango, chopped 

1 cup toasted pine nuts 

2 cloves garlic, peeled 

1 jalapeno pepper, quartered and seeded 

Salt, to taste 

Rice milk, optional 

Preparation

Combine lemon juice, oil, basil, mango, pine nuts, garlic, and jalapeno in a blender or food processor. Blend until basil is finely chopped.

Add salt and stir to blend. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It will last up to three days. If you like your pesto a bit thinner, stir in a little rice milk.
