This nut-free and vegan pesto makes a delicious alternative to some of the more allergenic alternatives, plus it can be a wonderful option for helping to reduce food waste. The vibrant flavour and wonderful texture make it super versatile and meaning it can work well as a garnish or the centre piece of many dishes. Rich in healthy fats and protein, it will also help to boost the macronutrient content of any dish it’s party to.
