If you're trying to eat more greens you must try this easy and completely delicious Easy Kale Pesto recipe. Ready in under 10 minutes, I promise it will bring even reluctant family members over to the green side! It's vegetarian and gluten free too!
Blanch the kale quickly in salted boiling hot water until just wilted, around 30 seconds (it’s worth doing this as I think it makes for a nicer pesto texture)
Drain and save ½ a cup of cooking water in case you need to thin down the pesto.
Place the kale in a food processor or blender.
Add the olive oil, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice, cheese and a generous pinch of sea salt.
Pulse several times until you have the smoothness or coarser consistency you prefer. You can add a tablespoon or two of cooking water to loosen it up if needed.
