Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

Sun dried tomato pesto is wonderful on top shredded zucchini noodles. Sweeter than plain basil pesto's it is a wonderful change to add to your favorite Italian dish.

• 1 cup of sun dried tomatoes soaked till soft
• 1 cup of loose basil or more to taste
• 1 to 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• ½ lime or lemon juiced
• 1/8-1/4 cup of water or oil to blend
• handful of soaked almonds, macadamias, or cashews
• sea salt to taste
• Most importantly add LOVE and Enjoyment!

In a food processor with the S blade blend sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and use oil/water to blend but keep it somewhat thick. Last throw in the nuts and pulse, making sure not to blend nuts just chop them.

Serve over zucchini pasta noodles topped with extra basil. Another option: take raw cole slaw mix soaked in warm water till soft drain add pesto, chopped cherry tomatoes, a little crushed garlic, and sliced mushrooms, I warm it in a dehydrator if you like.
Adding more water or fresh tomatoes will make it more SAUCY. ENJOY!
