Vegan Kale Pumpkin Seed Pesto
Vegan kale pumpkin seed pesto is a unique way to make pesto without the dairy!
I often find myself with extra kale after creating a recipe and this pesto was the perfect way to use it up! It’s slightly salty, a little crunchy, and oh so flavorful with just FIVE ingredients!
You can serve it on top of quinoa like I did, or mix it with some pasta, spaghetti squash or on top of some chicken! May I even suggest using this pesto in my chicken pesto quinoa bowls recipe? It’s absolutely divine in it!
