This recipe can be used for lunch as I have today, for fabulous appetizers or as a tasty substitute for pizza sauce. (I plan on making Christine's flatbread pizzas SOON with this pesto and some fresh veggies from my garden.
PERFECT SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO
(makes 1 1/2 cups, takes 10 minutes)

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley

DIRECTIONS:

LUNCH or appetizers:
I spread a cracker with vegan cream cheese, top with the pesto and garnish with a pinenut. Looks nice and tastes great!
