Hi Heather – you try substituting with lime juice, orange juice, or white wine vinegar. :)

Is there another acid that would be a good substitute or could I just omit without too much disappointment in flavor?

I made this exactly as listed, and it was amazing, but am wondering about the nutritional info.  My batch yielded 18 tbsps and when I enter the ingredients into my lose it app recipe calculator, it says 98 per tablespoon versus your calculation of 90 for 2 tablespoons. Ty!5 stars

We like ours a little stronger, so we use more garlic, a bit more lemon juice, a bit more salt. Yummy!

Rather than waste a drop of it, I used a dollop from scraping out the Vitamix container on one of your Zucchini & Prosciutto Egg Muffins. So delicious!

Yay! Glad this pesto still turned out great with walnuts :)
