Red Pesto Sandwich (Vegan, Trader Joe's)
Updated: Jun 27, 2020
If you love basil and sun dried tomatoes, this is the sandwich for you!

Ingredients: This recipe is made of sun dried tomatoes, almonds, basil, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper & the bread of your choosing. Toppings include: cucumber, tomato, avocado & arugula. Exact measurements below:
4 slices of bread
1 cup of sun dried tomatoes
1/2 cup of almonds
1/3 packed cup of fresh basil
2 cloves of garlic (or the equivalent minced garlic)
1 tbsp lemon juice (about 1/2 full lemon)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp or so of freshly cracked pepper
Toppings:
1 baby cucumber
1 tomato
1 avocado
1 handful of arugula
Directions:
1. Blend everything together but the toppings and the bread in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor (I don't either at the current moment), then use a high quality blender. A food processor is always much better if possible!
2. Lather the pesto generously on to some toasted bread and then top with ripe sliced avocado, cucumber, tomatoes & arugula and enjoy!
