Vegan Cashew Kale Pesto
Can we all agree that pesto is one of the greatest things ever? I will pretty much always say YES to a meal if pesto is involved. I typically take the lazy route and buy a store bought pesto but truthfully, the homemade kind is way better! It is also so quick to make and is amazing to make in batches to add to meals throughout the week or to freeze for the future. This Vegan Cashew Kale Pesto is my favorite tossed with pasta or as a base on pizza!
