Sun Dried Tomato Pumpkin Seed Pesto 2
Another way to enjoy your Sun Dried Tomato Pumpkin Seed Pesto. Yesterday, we placed it on a tomato slice and made a great appetizer. Today, enjoy the wonderful flavor and health benefits of pumpkin seeds in a main dish! Combined with zucchini noodles and heirloom tomatoes, this dish makes a filling lunch or dinner that will fit beautifully into your raw food menu. If you don’t have heirlooms, any other flavorful tomato will work.

Oh wow, that is a great looking meal. I am going to try making that pumpkin seed pesto – I am always trying to find ways to eat more pumpkin seeds for all their zinc-y goodness!

Delicious! So colorful and I know flavorful. I love making pumpkin seed pesto but by adding the tomatoes it adds a whole new appearance!

That recipe looks awesome! I was commenting on lots of your posts awhile back (I am the girl who’s parents still live in Excelsior and I grew up in Minnetonka) but anyway, I still read all your recipes and am always in love with what I see.
