Step 1
Begin by preparing the basil leaves. Rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt, and gently pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, raw cashews, and garlic cloves. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
Step 3
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the mixture in the food processor. Pulse a few more times to combine everything.

With the food processor running on low speed, gradually pour in the extra virgin olive oil. Continue to process until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Add the Whole30 compliant mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Step 6
Process everything together until the pesto mayo is completely blended, creamy, and smooth.
Step 7
Taste the pesto mayo and adjust the seasoning as necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Step 8
Transfer the basil pesto mayo to a sealable container and refrigerate. Allow it to chill for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
