I tested this recipe using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil. If using dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, you may need to use more olive oil to achieve the proper consistency.
Toast the almonds in a toaster oven for a few minutes to intensify their flavor.

We love red sun dried tomatoes. Now that I know that it is freezable, I will make and freeze in aliquots.
We love, love any sauce with sun dried tomatoes. Can't wait to try making and tasting it. Thank you Sonali.
Great tangy addition to my vegetarian sandwiches,.really pumps up the flavor!
Looks delicious! I can't wait to try it!
I have always made and used the green pesto, never the red.I will definitely do the red variant and use it in the variety of ways that you have suggested, especially as a dip. Would adding water make it perishable faster?Thanks.
I love pesto of any kind and always forget about this variation. I've bookmarked it to make soon - have almost all the ingredients on hand!
I just found this dish on Amee's Savory Dish, and it looks fantastic! Sun dried tomato anything can't be bad... especially in a pesto! Can't wait to try!~ Leah @ foodforthefresh.blogspot.com
I'm a fan of sun-dried tomatoes. I haven't made pesto because pine nuts scare me off thanks to their expense, but I can totally do almonds. Can't wait to try this in all kinds of dishes.
