Kale and Basil Pesto

A fresh pesto to brighten up any meal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves torn
  • 1 cup fresh kale leaves torn and removed from stem
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon mint chopped
  • 2 ounces pine nuts
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Parmesan shredded
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil may need more or less to make desired consistency

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except the olive oil into a blender or food
    processor.

  2. Slowly add the olive oil while the blender or food processor is on
    medium speed, until everything is blended together and the pesto is your desired
    consistency. Add slowly because you can always add more, but can’t take away
    what was added.

  3. Serve with your favorite gnocchi or pasta.
