Herbed Pesto

2 c. Basil
1/4 c. Cilantro
1/4 c. Parsley
2 tbsp. Pine Nuts
4 cloves Garlic
2 tsp. Miso Paste
2 tbsp. Nutritional Yeast
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tbsp. Water (plus more if needed)
1 tbsp. Lemon Juice

Combine basil, cilantro, parsley, pine nuts and garlic into a food processor and process until chopped.  Add in remaining ingredients and process until smooth.  Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to thin out the pesto.  For a lower calorie pesto, you can replace the olive oil with water or vegetable broth, but it won't be as rich.
