Notes
- pesto chicken
- Gotham Greens vegan pesto
- Follow Your Heart Dairy Free Parmesan
- Salmon: If you don’t have salmon or want to switch it up, try using another firm fish like cod, halibut or trout. If you're looking for a different protein option try this pesto chicken instead.
- Tomatoes: If you don’t have cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes or even chopped regular tomatoes will work. You can also add other veggies like roasted red peppers, bell peppers, olives or spinach if you want to switch things up.
- Shallot: Don't have a shallot on hand? You can use a red or yellow onion instead.
- Make it dairy-free: Use a vegan pesto like this Gotham Greens vegan pesto and skip the parmesan or use a vegan cheese like this Follow Your Heart Dairy Free Parmesan.
