INGREDIENTS
    • 2 cans white beans or chick peas, drained
    • 2 T olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1 small bunch basil leaves
    • 1/2 cup soy parmesan cheese
    • Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

NOTES
This is very versatile and can be used as a dip for veggies or a spread for sandwiches. For a pesto salad dressing, I substitute silken tofu for the beans.
