Homemade Vegan Pesto

Homemade Vegan Pesto Recipe

It takes no time at all to make this delicious homemade pesto and it makes all the difference compared to shop-bought versions!

  • Great for meal prep- you can make the pesto ahead of time, store it in the fridge or freezer and simply stir it into your fav pasta dish for a quick weeknight meal with bags of flavour.
  • We prefer to use extra virgin olive oil in this pesto but olive oil will do too.
  • You can always throw in any other fresh herbs you’ve got lying around in the fridge.
