Elegant in it's simplicity, this is a raw vegan take on a classic Italian salad from the beautiful island of Capri!

Marinara sauce must be thick, flavorful, tangy, slightly sweet and packed with fresh herbs in order to really hit the spot. This recipe from Sarahfae of Addicted to Veggies is destined to became a staple in your kitchen. This recipe calls for dry sun dried tomatoes, but you can also use oil packed and if you do Sarahfae recommends rinsing them well before hand. You can also try adding some ground crimini mushroom into the sauce for a "meatier" version. Use this delicious lycopene rich sauce on top of spiralized veggies or kelp noodles for a spaghetti meal to live for!
The quantities of veggies in this recipe are up to you depending on how many you are preparing this meal for. 1 large or 2 medium sized zucchini will typically serve about 1. The creamy, savory pesto sauce with macadamia nuts, almonds, and fresh herbs was also featured in Sarahfae's Wilted Zucchini and Spinach Tart recipe and as you can see is very versatile! It yields about 1 cup and can be stored in the fridge in an airtight glass container for up to a week. Make this recipe fresh on the day of an event to blow folks away with the deliciousness and complexity of flavor in gourmet raw food!
