Quick Tips:
Pesto: Bioitalia is a great organic pesto option, or buy a basil pesto in your grocery store.
Dairy-free: Alternatively, search for a dairy-free pesto in your local health food store or the health aisle at your local grocery store. For a full-dairy-free version, use coconut or almond milk yogurt instead of full fat-free.
For a vegan version, swap out the yogurt with non-dairy yogurt, and the mayonnaise with Vegenaise.
To add some protein, add chicken breast, flank steak, tofu steak, tempeh, edamame or roasted chickpeas.
