Instructions:

Do you have a vegan version as well? My son can’t have nuts or dairy- wonder if there is a way to make pesto for him?? By the way- I love your recipes and site- this has been a blessing to us.

I’ve bought an amazing vegan one at Whole Foods before but I’m almost positive it had walnuts in it. Can he do seeds? You may be able to make one with sunflower seeds. Just leave the cheese out.
