So this recipe makes 1 jar of dairy free pesto to go along with the salmon! Pesto is a super useful ingredient. It can be used in a lot of our meals and it's happy to be frozen and defrosted for a later time. it's great for a quick pesto pasta, used as a salad dressing or to spice up some fish! You can make the pesto dairy free using cashews or pine nuts. Though pine nuts are quite expensive in the supermarket and cashews are much cheaper and some say tastes even more yummy! In our recipes we're hoping to incorporate a few tips of more eco-friendly cooking, for example try and wash our veggies in a bowl of water rather than keep the tap running. Then take that water to steam the veg or use that water along with all the nutrients the veggies leave behind to water the house plants! So this recipe is super simple to make and really versatile. You can spice it up a bit by using the MAHI Peri Peri Hot sauce (voted Best Sauce - Quality Food Awards 2017) in with the rest of the ingredients to make the pesto. Along with the super fresh taste of the basil it really gives a spicy kick at the end, taking your palate to the exotic flavours of South Africa!
