Ingredients
- 1 cup kale leaves tightly packed
- 2 cups fresh basil

Instructions
- Add all ingredients except oil to a food processor and pulse until chopped.
- Once chopped, turn the food processor on and stream the oil through the opening in the top. I like my pesto sauce thick, but you can add more oil to your personal taste.
- Continue processing until desired texture is reached. Taste pesto for flavor and add more sea salt or nutritional yeast.
Notes
- *Replace the nutritional yeast and cider vinegar with 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese if you do dairy. If you go this route, increase the amount of avocado oil to 2/3 cup or 1 cup.
- **Use more avocado oil for thinner, saucier consistency
