kale almond pesto

I strongly believe that pesto makes everything better - sandwiches, pizza, pasta, salads, you name it. Honestly I would eat it alone by the spoonful...

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup almonds

• 1 garlic clove, smashed (or a few shakes of garlic powder)

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 3 to 4 large handfuls of kale

• 1/4 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese

• Juice of 1 lemon

• Around 3/4 cup olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a food processor or blender, pulse the almonds, garlic, and salt & pepper until finely chopped.

2. Add the kale, grated cheese, and lemon juice, and pulse until combined, scraping down the edges as needed.

3. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency.

4. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week!
