This vegan pea pesto is the perfect condiment for spring time. It’s really easy to make and tastes delicious, even on it’s own. You can also use it as a dip with carrots, for some Easter entertaining. I bet it would also taste delicious with some zoodles or over some grain free toast. Check out my recipe for paleo bread, if you want this over toast with a fried egg on top. Yum! I’ll have to post that later 🙂
Big thank you to Chris, for letting me sample your pea pesto. You were definitely the inspiration for this recipe. I ate your pea pesto with eggs scrambled with sauteed spinach and it was crazy good.
