If you're after a dairy free pesto that's flavourful & delicious, look no further. Introducing my favourite quick & easy, go-to zesty pesto. You can also make this nut free (for kindy/school) by subbing out nuts for sunflower seeds. I love to add this gorgeous green goodness to sandwiches, as a dip with chopped vegies, in my salads and even lathered on freshly cooked vegies as a salsa verde.
