Recipe for Vegan Oil-Free Pesto
This vegan oil-free pesto sauce is so good you’ll be licking the blender after you’re done blending this smooth, creamy and delicious pesto.
It’s super rich in flavour, creamy, and tastes slightly nutty (if you use pine nuts which I recommend it’s so good).
This is a delicious vegan pesto sauce that uses no oil and is lower calories than most. We are using zucchini to make this even more creamy and add in extra vegetables. IT still tastes amazing and you won’t be missing oil!
Many pesto recipes require tons of oil and this one has none! This one is also a super creamy sauce perfect for pasta and no, we aren’t sacrificing taste
