Arugula Pesto Cauliflower Pizza
For the Pesto:
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup toasted pine nuts (or walnuts)
1 large garlic clove
4 cups fresh arugula
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
½ cup parmesan cheese (optional)
sea salt to taste
- In a blender or food processor(I used my Vitamix), layer ½ cup olive oil, nuts, parmesan cheese (if using), lemon and arugula.
- Blend until it is chopped very fine.
- Slowly add the remaining ½ cup of olive oil through the hole at the top of the blender. Add salt to taste.
- Pour the mixture into an ice tray and freeze. Once frozen, you can transfer the arugula cubes to a Ziploc bag and freeze until needed.

- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
