Growing up with an Italian mother, pesto has always had a special place in my heart (and stomach)! I’m very particular about my pesto and either make it from scratch or there’s 1-2 brands that I will buy pre-made. Some of you may know this, but I try to keep dairy-free at home since I eat out quite often in the city and that’s my attempt at some sort of balance! So I made a delicious non-dairy, vegan pesto sauce that gets my stamp of approval.
