My kids have nut allergies to all nuts. How can I make the pesto without them?

Hi Kristy, you can definitely try omitting them completely, as traditional pistou is generally made with olive oil, basil and garlic only: while cheese may be added. - Nicole
Jeff says
I made a light version of the pesto by substituting plain non-fat Greek yogurt in place of the oil and it came almost as good as oil-based pesto. Thanks for a fantastic idea.

Glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing. - Nicole

So I definitely modified the pesto with ingredients I had on hand: basil instead of parsley, pine nuts instead of almonds. THIS WAS AMAZING! I LOVE PESTO but have never baked it with the fish/meat and have never tried green onions in the mix, a delicious and light meal. Thank you!
KK says
Great recipe! I made tilapia and cod and liked the cod better. The pesto was delicious and the recipe made a large amount to really smother on the fish!

I made this on Thursday, and today it is Saturday and I am making it again. I like the recipe that much! It is light, flavorful, fresh, and the parsley is available year round and less costly than basil. I love olive oil, but I like that this recipe doesn't overdo it in that department so the parsley and nut flavors really take centre stage. I used flaked almonds as they were the only nuts I had available and it was delish. I had some pesto leftover and used it the next day on pasta. Thank you!

Made this last night with cod. Used pecans since I had them in fridge. Came out spectacular. My husband and I both loved. I cooked it at a slightly lower temp for a bit longer and it came out perfect...
Katie says
For the longest time, I thought you could only make pesto out of the traditional ingredients-- basil, pinenuts, etc. But, then I learned that you can make a pesto out of nearly any green and nut combination. I make a kale walnut pesto that's delish. Parsley is always nice with white fish, so I bet this recipe is great. Love the quick meal ideas!
Kara says
Thank you! I'm trying this tonight!!
Carolyn says
Super, thanks!
Carolyn says
Hi, any suggestions as a substitute for almonds? My husband is allergic. Pine nuts?
Lisa says
Yes, try pine nuts or pecans!
