Yes. Pesto, which just means “pounded” is very versatile. You can use walnuts instead of pine nuts. Leave out the cheese. Taste and add lemon juice to give it some tang.
Is there a good way to make this pareve, without using any dairy replacement type of product? Also, I know it’s pine nuts that make a pesto, but is there a less expensive ingredient that would work? Thank you.
