OK, crusty bread, are you ready to meet your match made in heaven? What was once a pasta sauce is now a scoopable salsa-like appetizer. This zucchini pesto features all the usual pesto suspects, except for two major differences: Marcona almonds and zucchini star.

Don't have a party coming up? Here's the even greater part about this recipe: I think you can spiralize the zucchini into "noodles" and toss them in the nutty, cheesy, pesto for a light, gluten-free dinner. Oh yeah, we just went there.
