Vegan Pesto Pizza

 

Pesto pizza is another kind of magical. I love making mine at home and being able to customize it to my liking… I’m dairy-free so it’s sometimes tough finding alternatives. The pesto I’ve been making for the past few years has a few variations depending on what’s in my pantry. My favorite, ladies and gents: cashew pesto.

Little olive oil, fresh lemon juice, basil leaves, raw cashews, and nutritional yeast for the “cheesy” flavor. Nutritional yeast is packed with B vitamins and has a nutty, cheesy taste. Such a good alternative for my fellow dairy-free readers! (It’s so good on popcorn, too).

Continuing with our theme of fresh, healthy & dairy-free ingredients, I used my favorite cauliflower pizza crust by Cali’Flour Foods. It’s made with clean ingredients and is FULL of flavor. Not to mention the fact that it’s ready in under 15-20 min. All you have to do is remove it from the package, bake the crust, add toppings, then bake for 5 additional minutes to heat the toppings. Convenience is key, always.

The best part about this pizza is how good I feel after eating it because of the minimal ingredients. The pesto & the crust– can’t get enough. I typically switch up the toppings every time I make my cauliflower crust pizza, but TBH I get most of my pizza inspo from photos on Cali’Flour Food’s website. **Click here and use ‘Rachael’ for 10% off your entire order of $50 or more, plus free shipping!
