Instructions
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, basil, sunflower seeds, garlic, salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.
- With the food processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and vinegar. Process until mostly smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- To thin out the pesto, add in additional olive oil a little at a time.
Notes
- If you are using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, you can use that oil in place of some/all of the olive oil. If your sun-dried tomatoes do not come packed in oil, soak them in hot water until tender before using in the recipe.
