Zucchini Lasagna with Pistachio Pesto

This is the first raw food dish that I have prepared when I started making raw food for a client of mine few years ago.

The flavors and textures are all familiar. The quality and the freshness of the ingredients are the most important elements.

Seasonal and colorful, the zucchini lasagna make a great summer dish.
