Cheese-Free Walnut Pesto Crostini - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 loaf French bread
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1/3 cup walnuts
1 lemon, juiced
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Slice French bread on an extreme diagonal. Lay bread out in a single layer on one or two baking sheets. Bake for about 12 minutes, flipping once half way through. Bread should be crisp but not dried out.

Meanwhile, place basil, garlic, walnuts, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a blender. Pulse to bring mixture together then blend until smooth but a bit rough. Scrape down side of blender as necessary. Taste adding additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as necessary.

Let crostini cool slightly before spreading pesto on the surface to make a thick smear. Serve.
