Yup a bit of pesto can add so much zest to things like Spaghetti squash. OK, pesto contains cheese... so it is not vegan.

Of course Spaghetti squash can also be served with a mushroom marinara sauce.

But if you are not vegan... pesto can be added to so many veggie dishes to add just that wonderful zest... heck, pesto on potatoes...

Of course homemade salsa can also add zest... make it with chunks of onions, tomatoes, cilantro and chiles, for a simple pico that can be used almost anywhere.

Rick Bayless again offers a nice recipe... http://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/raw-tomatillo-salsa/ This is so easy to make and just takes minutes, yet if you think outside the box, this salsa on roasted veggies really is a great taste treat.
