For snacking, it is a luxurious dip with crudities, a great slather on a baguette, tossed with blanched vegetables and tofu, dressed in a salad and of course on spaghetti, any pasta or noodles.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
If serving with wholewheat spaghetti, place a large pan of water onto the stove to boil. Once boiling, add salt and cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
Step 2
Put all the desiccated coconut, coriander, lemon juice, nutritional yeast flakes, garlic, olive oil and a little salt in a bowl or small blender and (hand)blend together until it comes to a smooth, pale green grainy pesto-like consistency.
Step 3
Drain the spaghetti, pour it back into the saucepan with a little pasta water and add the pesto, mix well before serving.
