SIMPLE BASIL PESTO (VEGAN, DAIRY-FREE)

As the weather starts to warm up, and things begin to bloom outside, I start to think about planting some herbs. The first herb that always pops into my mind is BASIL. I love basil. I love it all year round, but during the spring and summer months I could eat it almost every day, in any dish, in any form.
