Balsamic vinegar and strawberries are great in a salad, and even in frozen yogurt; naturally, the pairing is just as delicious on a flatbread. There is something so quintessentially summer about eating strawberries for dinner. What can I say, I’m a fan!

Cilantro Pesto
I’ve been experimenting with different types of pesto lately. The only trouble with this one is that the feta cheese makes this very sticky.
2/3 c. packed fresh cilantro
1/3 c. packed fresh parsley
1 TBSP lime juice
1/8 c. sunflower seeds
1/4 c. olive oil
1/8 c. feta cheese
4 cloves crushed garlic
Combine all in a food processor and process until well mixed.

Sunflower Seed Pesto Pasta with Vegetables

I have tried this recipe with almonds in the pesto but found the almond flavor overwhelming, but if you like almonds a lot it could be a good substitute.
Pesto:
2/3 c. basil fresh and firmly packed
1/8 c. sunflower seeds, shelled
1/4 c. olive...
