While fresh basil often steals the limelight in the summer months, many seasonal greens can work beautifully in a pesto.
Mustard greens make for a delightful pesto to top roasted veggies, toss with pasta, use as a pizza base, mix with Greek yogurt or cream cheese as a dip or spread, or enjoyed on bread or crackers. You can get creative with nut and seed combinations for pesto as long as you stick to the same ratios. While hard cheeses such as Parmesan and Romano would be a welcome addition to this pesto for some, we are sharing a vegan version with you today. Feel free to add a handful of cheese or nutritional yeast to your pesto if you so desire. Stay warm and nosh on this season!
