11 Jan Dairy-Free Kale Pesto
2
I’ve been making this dairy-free pesto sauce for years. It’s very difficult to find a store-bought pesto that doesn’t use canola oil, cheese and preservatives, so I started making my own! It turns out that homemade pesto is so much tastier. I like to make a batch at the beginning of the week and use it as a salad dressing or using it as a topping for my paleo pizza crust. It’s also perfect for a pasta dish. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
