Pesto usually contains finely grated parmesan or Romano cheese. But pesto doesn't really need cheese at all! That's about the only change needed to make my vegan pesto recipes.

2
cups
fresh herbs
leafy greens + vegetables: Basil, cilantro, parsley, kale, broccoli, mint
2
tbsp
avocado oil
olive, avocado, macadamia, hazelnut, walnut oils all work. Wanna go oil free? Just use water.
½
cup
nuts
pine nuts, cashews, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pepitas, pistachio
2
tsp
seasoning
garlic, chives, green onions, lemon, lime, olives, salt, pepper, tamari, miso, ginger, sun-dried tomatoes, nutritional yeast, jalapeños
Instructions

one ingredients from each section above.
Add
to a food processor or blender and pulse.
