I am really loving this "rice" recipe! Super, super easy and packed with flavor. The pesto recipe is vegan and super flavorful. I have been craving some pesto lately since my basil plant is still thriving... pray for me. I hope it stays strong.
I definitely think this "rice" will be one of my go-tos for a quick and easy raw meal.
