This Pea Pesto Crostini is super easy to make and is always a crowd-pleaser.

It’s vegan and allergy friendly (nut-free, dairy-free, and can be made gluten-free), making it a perfect option for a cocktail party hors d’oeuvre.

The pesto can also be frozen to use in pasta and on sandwiches, later.

1 tub almond milk ricotta

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Pesto is generally loaded with fresh herbs and this one takes it a step further by including nutrient-dense spinach and peas. It’s also a great dish to use up a ton of produce after a visit to the farmers’ market.
