Walnut Kale Pesto


This is an great dairy free pesto, especially good if you don't have much fresh herbs on hand and if you are on a budget since pine nuts are freaking expensive. I just made this on the fly, and it turned out really good. I have a little basil plant, but it doesn't produce much basil, so I had to improvise.

  • 2 tb fresh basil
  • 1 tb fresh oregano
  • 1/4 cup fresh kale
  • 1/4 cup walnut halves
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 Tb rice Parmesan cheese (or regular parmesan, or soy parmesan... I love the rice kind by Galaxy Nutritional Foods)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp sea salt (Celtic or Himalayan is best!)
Throw everything in a food processor and pulse/blend till smooth!

Enjoy on pizza, with bread, on pasta, on sandwiches, salads as a dressing... or whatever you like!
