Vegan Cashew Pesto
Pesto is one of my favorite spreads. When I go out to eat and see a pesto sandwich on the menu, I’m probably 99.9% likely to order it.
And making vegan pesto at home is super easy.
This Vegan Cashew Pesto is one of my new favorites. I have made pesto with pine nuts and walnuts – but never cashews. And being vegan, you know I always have cashews on tap, so why not use them in a pesto?
In place of parmesan I used Go Veggie parmesan, but you could use nutritional yeast if that is all you have on hand.
This is perfect on a sandwich, over pasta or in a wrap. Check out my Chick’n Pesto Wrap to see how I used it.
