Arugula and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto


I love adding pesto to spreads, dips, sandwiches, and tossing with pasta. I never met a green that I haven't tried to puree into my favorite condiment. I decided to add some sundried tomatoes into the mix, and I'm so glad that I did. Arugula and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto comes together in minutes.


Ingredients for Arugula and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto:


10 ounces of baby arugula

1 1/4 cups extra virgin olive oil

10 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/3 cup slivered almonds

4 cloves garlic

1/2 fresh lemon

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper


Time-Saving Tip: Prepare the pesto in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

It's ready! Arugula and Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto is delicious. I keep thinking that this would taste great on a turkey sandwich so you know what I'll be trying next. It's just one more pesto to add to my list.
