No-Fat Raw Cuke Slices with Spinach Pesto and Sundried Strawberry Sauce

From the wondrous and immensely talented Amber Kristine Miller.  

Bottom Layer:

2 large cucumbers, sliced for the base

2nd Layer - Spinach Pesto:

4 oz spinach, chopped
big handful of cilantro, chopped
3 garlic cloves
4 dates
2 tangerines, juiced
5 basil leaves
1/4 tsp. oregano
pinch of sage
pinch of marjoram

Put in food processor and puree just until mixed but not soupy...leave with some texture. 

3rd Layer:

8 Roma tomatoes, sliced thick for next layer

4th Layer - Pico:

6 scallions, chopped, white and green parts
1/2 jalapeno
2 celery stalks, fined diced

Place a scoop of pico on each tomato.  

4th Layer - Strawberry Sundried Tomato Sauce:

1/2 pint strawberries
5 sundried tomatoes, soak
3 dates
1 lemon, peeled and whole (or squeezed for juice)

Put all of the ingredients, except dates and sundried tomatoes, in blender and blend until slightly liquified and then add dates and sundried tomatoes and let soak for 15 minutes.  Then blend up until smooth.  Place a dollop on top of the pico.  Enjoy!
