Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh parsley for that vibrant green flavor, but if you're not a fan, feel free to swap it out for basil or cilantro. Nutritional yeast is a game-changer, bringing that cheesy goodness without any coconut cream! If you're watching your sodium, you can always start with less salt and adjust to taste.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar - it stays fresh for about a week in the fridge.
- •Serve it with sliced veggies or whole-grain crackers for a delightful snack!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I toss in a little smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I add some sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of flavor.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a good stir before serving again, as it may thicken up a bit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other nuts instead of walnuts?

Ingredients
Instructions

First, soak the raw walnuts in water for about 2 to 4 hours to soften them. After soaking, drain and rinse them well.

In a food processor, combine the soaked walnuts, garlic, nutritional yeast, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Pulse the mixture until it’s well combined but still slightly chunky. You want that nice texture!
- 4
Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. I usually find 2 to 4 tablespoons works perfectly.
- 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you want more zing, add a little more lemon juice!
- 6
Transfer the pâté to a serving bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
