I have already made a
fresh basil pesto and an
arugula pesto, but I thought that a sun-dried tomato pesto would be delicious, especially for summer! A little while back in my
simple greek salad post, I talked about the amazing sun-dried tomato pesto that we ate with that meal. Well, as promised here is the recipe! This pesto is super easy and is such a great change from your regular basil pesto. This pesto could be used as a sandwich spread or served over chicken if you are not much of a pasta eater, although this pesto might make you one!
You Will Need:
- 1 cup sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 Tbsp pine nuts
- 2 peeled garlic cloves
- 3/4 cup olive oil
Here We Go:
- Add first five ingredients to blender or food processor and blend until smooth
- Add the olive oil and process until thick paste forms
- Garnish with fresh basil and fresh parmesan, if desired

Happy Feasting!
This pesto also freezes very well so you can save the leftover pesto for later! |

This really looks delicious. I love sun-dried tomato pesto and yours sounds wonderful. This was my first visit to your blog, so I decided to browse through your earlier posts while I was here. I'm so glad I did that. I really like the food and recipes you feature here and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
