Sunflower Pesto Recipe
This is a great recipe if you are allergic to nuts. Sunflower seeds are such a great
alternative and a great source of good fat and protein. They even make sunflower butters
for spreading on bread so you can avoid the nut allergy issue. When purchasing the
sunflower seeds for this recipe make sure you are buying them raw and shelled. They
should not be roasted or salted.
Prep Time: 4 hour soak of seeds, 5 minutes to prepare and blend.
