Kale Pesto, healthy & tasty!
I was once asked if I could make a pesto that was cleaner and healthier than what's available in stores. Since pesto is based in oil, it's difficult to make it super-healthy, but if you add kale, you get the kick you need! So here's a recipe for some pesto that has better levels of potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. What ya need: 1/4 cup of roughly chopped Walnuts 1 teaspoon of fresh-ground black pepper 20 leaves of fresh basil 1 teaspoon of kosher salt 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 3 cloves of garlic 1 and 1/2 cups of chopped Kale 1/3 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Ok, so: Throw everything into a food processor and blend until slightly chunky, but smooth. You can freeze this and store it for a month or two as well.
