This is a special basil pesto.  It is DAIRY FREE but tastes like there is cheese! The miso in this recipe provides the umami flavor we love with cheese. I hope you try this and enjoy. You can use this to make a salad dressing or toss with your favorite pasta or use as a dip. Another amazing thing about this recipe is that you are getting your greens in! Toss this with some garbonzo beans and you have a delicious lunch!
