Every time I go to my local Trader Joe's, which is about two to four times a month, I grab a tub of this Vegan Kale, Cashew & Basil Pesto. It's creamy and so flavorful, and not just for pasta! Here are some healthy ways you can use your tub and create some amazing, unforgettable meals.
Make this oh-so-creamy, warm, and delicious homemade pesto pasta by puréeing ripe avocado with Trader Joe's vegan pesto and garlic powder.
Sauté veggies in Trader Joe's vegan pesto, then instead of tomato sauce, spread a layer of pesto on whole wheat pizza dough, top with the pesto veggies, and pizza is served!
