Report
This is a delicious spin on pesto made with fresh earthy kale and parsley, rich olive oil, bright lemon, and bold parmesan and garlic. It's a healthy and flavorful Italian inspired sauce and there are countless ways to use it!

Ingredients
- 3 cups (slightly packed) torn kale 110g, leaves
- 1/2 cup (slightly packed) parsley 15g, leaves
- 2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese 45g, grated
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/3 cup walnuts (38g)
- 1 large garlic peeled and crushed, clove
- 1/4 tsp salt then more to taste
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 1 to 3 Tbsp water to thin as desired
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- To a food processor (I use 7 cup size processor) add kale, parsley, parmesan, lemon zest, walnuts, garlic and salt. Cover and pulse until finely minced.
- Add in lemon juice and 1 Tbsp water. Cover, then with processor running pour in olive oil through the feed tube of the lid insert. Thin with a little more water as desired (up to 2 more Tbsp).
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container up to 3 days.
Notes
- *Remove thick inner ribs (stem running up through the kale) from the kale only using the leaf portion.
- Recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups pesto, or enough for about 16 oz pasta (also include a few splashes of pasta water).
