Green Marinara Sauce

Okay, we have green smoothies, so why not Green Marinara Sauce?  This lovely sauce is simple to prepare, and quite nutritious. Add as many greens as you like the taste of. I used Kale, parsley and basil, but feel free to experiment with dandelion, spinach, chard, etc.


Green Marinara Sauce:
2 cups tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked and chopped
1/2 avocado(optional)
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 kale leaves, chopped
1/4 tsp oregano
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 medjool date, soaked and chopped
2 Tbsp red onion, chopped 
1/4 yellow bell pepper, chopped
pinch of sea salt
pinch of cayenne pepper


Mix in blender or food processor until creamy. Store in refrigerator for 2-3 days.
If you'd like to make this a Cream Sauce - try adding sunflower seeds, or cashews to the mix. Add water as needed to desired consistency.
