Ingredients
- ¾ cup macademia nuts
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt or too taste
- 3 ounces arugula leaves
Instructions
- Add macademia nuts, arugula, garlic, lemon, and salt to a food processor. Put the lid on the food processor and start it up.
- While it's processing slowly add olive oil through the top, continue until all the olive oil is added to the food processor. Continuing processing until smooth, you may want to stop the processor and scrap the edges once or twice.
Notes
The nuts add the creaminess that you'd get from adding cheese so I don't miss it!
