YOU WILL NOT MISS THE MEAT OR CHEESE!
These tempting delights come together in a flash. From start to done they only require about 30 minutes, including cooking time!
My recommendation is to allow the dough (I used Trader Joe’s Pizza Dough) to sit, out of the bag, at room temperature for 15 minutes.
You can always add more veggies but in this case, the simpler, the better.
ENJOY!
Pesto always seemed a bit too rich for me and it wasn’t until I started to experiment with developing recipes without using the cheese that I realized just how much better it would taste.
The fragrant basil is perfectly balanced with the olive oil plus, without the cheese you loose a lot of the fat.
You can double the basil pesto sauce recipe and keep the extra, stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to a week. It is also great on baked potatoes, rice or cauliflower rice!
ENJOY!
I love kale but I also know a lot of people that are not huge fans of this super-good-for-you food. When I created this salad, that is filling enough for an entire meal, it helped turn kale-no-bees into yes please!
I use quinoa and Trader Joe’s Rice Medley which makes it hardy and nutritious but you can substitute any other grain of choice including Israeli couscous.
ENJOY!
