Vegan Pesto

Making vegan pesto at home is very easy: take some nuts, some fresh leafy vegetables, some olive oil, salt and pepper, put everything in a blender, and you’re done. I always make pesto fresh and like to experiment with the ingredients. This recipe is my favorite. It smells and tastes like THE pesto, but contains no cheese, and you won’t miss it at all in this recipe.

You can store this vegan pesto, sealed, in the refrigerator for about five days.
