A velvety, dairy-free pesto built on toasty whole almonds and the bright sweetness of fresh tomatoes. Sunflower oil makes it silky, soy sauce and nutritional yeast bring a savory, almost cheesy depth, and a spoonful of apple cider vinegar lifts everything with a gentle tang. There is no cooking and no fuss — everything goes into the blender at once. Toss it through hot pasta for an instant sauce, or spread it generously over toasted bread for a quick, satisfying snack.

Ingredients

  • 100g almonds
  • 120g water
  • 100g fresh tomatoes
  • 20g sunflower oil (or any neutral-flavored oil)
  • 10g soy sauce
  • 10g nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3g salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the almonds, water, fresh tomatoes, sunflower oil, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar and salt to a blender.

  2. 2

    Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Use it as a sauce for pasta, or spread it over toasted bread.
