The easiest and tastiest vegan pesto with no expensive or fancy ingredients!
I don’t know about you, but for me adding pesto to ANYTHING elevates it to 108937% better! I mean it’s mostly garlic, olive oil, and basil, which are some of my favorite flavors in the whole world! And this pesto definitely makes everything better: pasta, cauliflower steaks, pizza, toast, gnocchi, etc.
This pesto is:
– super easy and can be blended in a food processor, blender, or using an immersion blender
– full of delicious garlicy flavors
– fresh and vibrant
– and perfect on so many different dishes!
