Vegan Pistachio Pesto

 Who else is a fan of pesto? One thing I love is how versatile it is to make this delicious sauce! There are so many ways to make the pesto by switching out the type of nuts or greens for a slightly different taste and texture. Personally, I’m on a pistachio kick, and it adds a delicious nutty flavor! My family and I love tossing this sauce with chickpea pasta, roasted broccoli, and sautéd grape tomatoes.
