Dairy Free Walnut Pesto Roasted Red Pepper Relish

Smoky, charred red peppers meet a vibrant basil-garlic paste and toasty walnuts in a relish that tastes like it belongs on every table from here on out. The broiler does the heavy lifting, blistering the peppers until they collapse and turn silky-sweet, and that steaming step is the secret to skins that practically fall off on their own. Everything comes together in a food processor, but the finished texture is deliberately chunky and rustic — irregular pieces of roasted pepper folded through a coarse, bright-green herb base with satisfying bits of walnut throughout. Because the whole recipe is built on olive oil, fresh basil, lemon juice, and whole ingredients, there's no dairy anywhere in sight and nothing to swap or substitute. That makes it genuinely easy to serve to a crowd without fielding questions or reading labels. Spoon it over grilled proteins, stir it into grains, pile it onto crusty bread, or use it as a bold sandwich spread — it's the kind of condiment that quietly improves everything it touches.
