Kale Pesto

I haven't posted in weeks...I've still been cooking and taking pictures, I just haven't found the time to post anything. I was in Costa Rica for a week on my spring break (it was soo nice, wish I was still there) and then when I got back I had so much work to do. Now I'm back..but I have a handful of things to post about.

First off, a week ago in light of St. Patricks Day, I made lots of green dishes. One of them was this Kale Pesto I found from Healthy Vore. It was delicious. Now whenever I am craving pesto, I will make it like this. I eventually used it as a topping on a gluten-free pizza, it was soo yummy. Here's the recipe:

Recipe:
Serves 30, Total cook time: 6 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4 cups torn kale, stalks removed, any kind
• 3 Tablespoons chopped walnuts
• Juice from 1 lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

• Place kale, lemon juice, salt, garlic, and Parmesan cheese in food processor
• Pulse until ingredients are finely chopped. If it's too thick and doesn't blend well, add a few tablespoons of water
• Once everything is finely chopped, drizzle in the olive oil over the other ingredients
• Makes approximately one jar, you can move to a jar or put in a bowl and serve

Here's my finishing touch of carrot slices to add a little St. Patrick's day zest of orange and green! Hope you all had a happy St. Patrick's Day! 

...Enjoy this pesto on pasta, pizza, sandwiches, and fish/meats :)
