As you know, I am totally addicted to pesto (or healthy plant-based spread). Therefore, I have explored this new rich red pesto recipe with dried tomato and spinach. It is now a home best seller, so I am sharing it with you on the blog. And it is a 15-minute recipe.

I am really happy with this healthy red pesto (or tomato spread) as it is super easy to prepare! Besides, it last for a long time in the fridge. And it needs only 6 ingredients which are all good for your body.

Ingredients list

For your next shopping list, all you need is walnuts, spinach, 4 dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, lemon.

With walnuts and olive oil this tomato pesto is full of healthy fats. It is a very nutty pesto in taste with a sweet hint, thanks to the dried tomatoes. It’s divine with zucchini noodles or with fresh veggies ! You can use it as a tomato spread (I do that all the time). Or try it with some salad too or as a base for your pizza ! The possibilities are endless !

If you are a big pesto lover -as I am- try out my Green Arugula Pesto.

Or create you own favorite pesto with your favorite nuts and lgreen eaves (parsley, kale, a mix of leaves, etc..). And share your ideas here.

So easy, so good !
