This Cashew Pesto is one of those things that I make almost on a weekly basis, but have never actually posted the recipe here! It’s about time. We all need easy access to something so delicious 🙂

It goes well with so many different things -chicken, shrimp, gnocchi, pasta, you name it…it’s good! And it couldn’t be easier to make. The cashews give it a bit of a sweetness as opposed to traditional pine nuts, and the nutritional yeast gives it a “cheesy” flavor…without the dairy!

I like to use my Nutribullet because it’s small and easy to clean, but feel free to use a blender or food processor if that’s all you have.
