  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil

  • 2 bunches Fresh Basil
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In food processor, place large bunches of kale and basil, drizzle with olive oil, and puree until very finely chopped (some prefer a smoother pesto sauce, so adjust according to preference with more oil).

    This pesto is wonderful as a dip for and side of choice, an additional to a pasta sauce, or rolled inside a chicken breast. Make a big batch and have ready to go!
    Variety-for a non-vegan option, you could also add parmeson cheese for a nice flavor addition.
