Anti-Pesto (ha ha!)

This super yummy dish was named and created by Yardsnacker just for me. It has all the makings of pesto on top of tomatoes but not blended in the traditional pesto way. The basil is fresh from our herb garden unfortunately the tomatoes were bought while we wait for ours to ripen.

Yardsnacker's Anti-Pesto
1 large tomato, sliced into wedges
slivered sweet onion slices, optional
small handful of pine nuts, coarsely chopped
fresh basil, chopped or torn into shreds
drizzle EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
drizzle balsamic vinegar
S&P to taste

Toss and eat!

P.S. If interested, I added a slide show of my meet up with other raw bloggers to an earlier post.

So the white chunky yummy bits are nuts? Interesting. I'm thinking I'm going to add some fresh chopped garlic to mine and skip the salt & pepper. Thank you Yardsnacker for (1) cooking for HiHoRosie and (2) for the inspiration! Don't fuss about buying 'maters even this time of year. Those 'matoes are so happy you appreciate them and that their diligent hard work growing was not left to rot on a shelf somewhere. At your house, you make veggies feel needed. And isn't that what we all want? Keep up the great posts and thank you again for your attention to mine. Blessings!
