Happy Thursday everyone, I hope you all have had a great week so far 🙂
Today we are sharing with you an easy creamy white bean pumpkin seed pesto you can whip up in 10 minutes or less! This pesto is perfect atop a thick slice of toasted bread, served as a dip with raw vegetables and crackers, or even added to a buddha bowl for an additional layer of flavor. My favorite way to serve this is as an appetizer at parties, how would you serve it? We actually put this recipe together for our Grilled Fall Vegetable Bread Boats that we shared last month, and I encourage you to make that dish if you put this pesto together. It was a hit on our dinner table and on our blog, and it is definitely one of those must make recipes during the Fall holiday season. Make sure you tag us on Instagram @sweetsimplevegan and @consciouschris and hashtag #sweetsimplevegan if you recreate any of our recipes, we love to see your photos!
