Paleo Kale Pesto
So, kale has gained some popularity over the last few years. Rightfully so, as it’s packed with goodness! I had to wonder if a dairy free kale pesto was possible to enjoy all those nutrients without actually eating kale in a salad or sauteing. Often kale is not that popular and you either love it or hate it!
The creamy element comes from the addition of pili nuts! One of the most creamy nuts we were introduced to years ago. Using them makes enjoying a pesto without dairy a breeze and especially delicious!
