3 stalks chopped, green onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Juice of ½ a lime
1 tbsp. sun-dried tomatoes, diced
Sea salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp. olive oil for brushing onto bread
Whole wheat baguette or dried whole wheat toasts/Friselle

PREPARATION:

Combine all ingredients. Optional: Let sit in the fridge for at least an hour to allow flavours to marinate.
