I got this recipes from Ani Phyo's Ani's Raw Kitchen. It was really good. I was surprised how good the kelp noodles were. I am not going to lie, I was a little iffy about the whole thing. But the pesto and really tasty and the kelp noodles and mixed greens were a nice combination. I probably should have picked a different type of tomato to garnish, the cherry tomatoes I got were not ripe enough and they threw off the taste, but the dish was a lot better once I got rid of them. lol.You can find this recipe and many many more at Ani's website, and the link is: http://www.aniphyo.com/2008/08/25/pistachio-pesto-with-kelp-noodles/ (See below for recipe)

ReplyDeletei made this last night, thanks for the recipe! this lady from work is paying me $50 a week to make her raw food recipes for lunch every day of the week. So far so good! it only helps my lifestyle, now i can just get paid for my leftovers! and an incentive to make more creative dishes when i don't feel like it or possibly wouldn't be up to it.
