Vegan pesto is a delicious, plant-based alternative to traditional pesto that doesn't compromise on taste. Perfect for pasta, sandwiches, or even as a dip, this vegan pesto uses simple, wholesome ingredients to create a vibrant and flavor-packed sauce.
- Use fresh basil leaves to ensure the best flavor and aroma.
- Toast the pine nuts lightly in a dry pan before blending to enhance their nutty flavor.
- If the pesto is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or more olive oil to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed; a pinch of salt can enhance the flavors further.
- Store the pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze it in ice cube trays for longer storage and convenient portions.
