So good! Personally I would use a little less beet so itโ€™s not as sweet next time, more pine nuts, and a touch more lemon juice.

Iโ€™m the only vegan in my family but everyone fell in love with this pesto as a dip for homemade naan. This is a new staple in my house

Hey Caroline and Riana! We haven't tried it ourselves, although we imagine can freeze this pesto! Simply transfer it to an airtight container and it should last for up to 3 months. Just thaw and str it before using ๐Ÿ˜Š

Great - thanks!

Pine nuts are a bit pricey, so I swapped half of it with sunflower seeds. SO delicious!
