Ingredients

1 cup Toasted Almonds Any nut you have on hand will do
1 cup Spinach
1 cup Kale
1 cup Basil Do more or less of any greens you have on hand, although make sure to add some basil to keep true to classic pesto flavor
3 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper To taste
1/4 cup Olive oil more to taste

Instructions

Put nuts in dry saucepan on medium heat. Stir frequently until toasted, about 5 minutes.
Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth, wiping down the sides as you go.
Add olive oil until pesto is a smooth consistency.
Pour over your favorite pasta or spread on toast with some tomatoes. YUM!

Notes

This is amazing on pasta or pizza, or a dipping sauce for breadsticks. If making a double batch keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Or portion what you need and freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 6 months.
