Raw Presto Pesto

Ingredients:


2 Roma Tomatoes – (0.5 Ib / 230 g)
Sun Dried Tomatoes- (1/4 cup / 15 g)
Spinach – (0.25 lb / 115 g)
Basil – (0.25 lb / 115 g)
Arugula – (0.25 lb / 115 g)


Optional:


Pine Nuts – (1/4 cup / 35 g)
Garlic – (1 clove)


Directions:

1-    Cube and blend tomatoes with sun-dried tomatoes and optional garlic until smooth. If desiring a creamy pesto add optional pine nuts and blend till smooth as well.

2-    Add the spinach, basil and arugula pulse blending at a low speed using the tamper on your Vitamix at a 4-5 speed setting. If you do not have a Vitamix use a stick of celery and a low speed setting to push the greens into the blade bringing a chunky texture instead of a green purée.

3-    If you desire a chunky nutty pesto add the pine nuts at the end and pulse a few times leaving all sizes of pieces in the sauce.

Enjoy!
