Notes
Use fresh kale to make this recipe. Frozen kale or wilted kale won’t give the same flavour and nutrition.
To make a nut-free pesto, substitute the walnuts with hemp seeds.
Add a handful of basil or cilantro if you like an herby pesto.
To freeze this pesto, add spoonfuls of the pesto to an icecube tray and freeze.
