Vegan Pesto On Everything!
Pesto is favorite wherever you go! It’s so simple yet so delicious. Basil leaves pine nuts (or any other nuts you have)olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. That’s it! Since pine nuts can be a bit pricey, you can find any nuts on sale and use them. I’ve tried them all, and they go so well. Walnuts, for example, are a great replacement! Make sure you choose the walnut slices because they are usually a lot cheaper than the whole walnuts. Another great choice is sunflower seeds; they are tasty and very nutritious. Do you have a favorite homemade green pesto recipe? Use it for this tofu pesto sandwich, and you’ll love it even more!
Tofu Pesto Sandwich: The Perfect Lunch on The Go!
This sandwich is such an excellent option for lunch when we are in a hurry! Make it in the morning and take it with you in a paper bag (or silicon) and a glass container. It’s super filling, nutritious, and uber tasty. Don’t be surprised if your work colleagues (or college classmates) ask you for a bite or, even better, a recipe.
If you rather skip the bread, you could quickly turn this recipe into a tofu pesto salad or bowl. Cut the tofu into squares instead of slices and top with the pesto, then add shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes to the mix. Voila! You have yourself another delicious lunch for the week! Pretty cool, right? Two lunches in one go!
