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
Pine nuts are the traditional nut for pesto but are crazy expensive and can be hard to find. A $2 bag of shelled sunflower seeds worked just fine. 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...
