How to make
Toast the sunflower seeds in a non greased pan. Be careful not to burn them, so keep the heat moderate and stir.
Put the basil leaves, garlic, sunflower seeds, lemon juice and salt in a blender. Leave them to blend for seconds, then push the build-up mixture on the sides and blend once more.
Mix the resulting paste with parmesan and olive oil.
To prepare this easy and delicious salad, peel the tomatoes and cut them into random-shaped but large pieces.
Put some of the pesto on them - not all of it, but as much as it needs to cover and flavor the tomatoes.
Put the rest in the refrigerator in a well-closed container and use, for example, the next day for the same tomato salad or another dish.
Serve the finished peeled tomato salad with sunflower seed pesto decorated with fresh basil leaves and if desired, sprinkled with more parmesan.
Enjoy your meal!
