About
With just 5 ingredients and incredible flavor, you are going to want to make a huge batch of this Sun Dried Tomato Pesto. I love taking simple and bright flavors to make something so versatile like this pesto. I served it this past weekend at our boys birthday bbq and there were a lot of “mmmmm” noises happening! I served the pesto with a simple crostini but it is amazing tossed with pasta and on top of grilled chicken.
