I find Pesto sauce versatile, it can be used with sandwiches, pasta and salads. My husband does not like the Basil Pesto sauce as it is too pungent for him so I have a recipe of No Basil Pesto sauce. Its also hard to find a store bought pesto sauce that is vegan so here I have an easy recipe of vegan version. I added extra jalapenos to make it a little spicy but you can subtract that if you prefer it mild. I have been using this recipe for a decade and it has always been a crowd pleaser. This recipe has been shared with my friends and family many times. I cant wait to see you guys make this sauce and send me a picture.
