We´ve customized pesto once more! Adding our freshly made creamy pistachio butter instead of the traditional pine nuts which truly makes this pesto stand out. We also used our vegan parmesan cheese and some fresh parsley to give it an herby flavor. You can use this pesto as a sandwich spread, as a pasta sauce, as a dip or as a drizzle over any dish. We´ve featured it here with our sliceable cashew cheese recipe that which been pan-fried and makes for a perfect appetizer. Enjoy!
