BROCCOLI PESTO

This recipe is SO yummy! I love this recipe lately and make it all the time. It is not only super easy but it is also packed with some super duper nutrition.
This is also great to sneak in some veggies for those picker eaters too. I keep this dairy free too by using sun-dried tomatoes instead of parmesan cheese. I also use walnuts in replace of traditional pine nuts.
Serve with your favorite healthy pasta, crackers, crudités, or along with any dish. Enjoy!
