Tomato Salad with Walnut Basil Pesto
4.6(615 ratings)Think of this as the lazy cousin of a caprese. Instead of cheese, a spoonful of thick basil pesto made with walnuts, lemon and nutritional yeast sits in the center of a pile of ripe tomatoes. As you dig in, the pesto swirls through the juices and becomes a dressing of its own. Extra pesto keeps for a week and is wonderful on zucchini noodles.
