TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 2 servings.
You really won't miss the cheese at all in this dairy-free pesto. It's especially good over cauliflower rice or gluten-free pasta. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
