The Best Dairy-Free Pesto - Lemon Stripes

Name: The Best Dairy-Free Pesto - Lemon Stripes
Ingredients: 3/4 cup, extra virgin olive oil (yes, it’s really that much!); 1 large handful of roasted, salted cashews (probably about 3/4 of a cup); 3 packed cups of fresh and washed basil leaves, removed from the stems; Juice from 1/2 of a lemon; 1 tsp, black pepper; 2 cloves of garlic (I just cut them in half and throw them in); Optional: Small handful of Parmesan cheese (optional, obviously, as this is meant to be dairy-free but some people who have me make it for them like the sharp bite that comes with the cheese).
