Dairy Free Pesto Sauce is a wonderful condiment we love using both our our dairy free friends and family as well as in our Cleansing with Food Workshops. There are so many ways to use this dairy free version similar to all the ways we share in our traditional Homemade Pesto Sauce recipe. Cleansing with Food is an anti-inflammatory cleanse that we eliminate a variety of foods that can potentially cause inflammation in our body’s. Dairy is one of those foods. In this “clean” pesto version we never feel deprived as the flavor still is wonderful! If you love a cheesy flavor we add nutritional yeast into this Dairy free pesto sauce.
