Paleo Kale Pesto (Edit recipe)

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!

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Remove leafy parts of the kale from the ribs of the leaf (discarding ribs) until you have 2 cups packed leaves. Make sure the blade is in the bottom of the food processor and place kale inside.
  2. Add pili nuts, avocado oil, garlic, salt, red wine vinegar, sumac, black pepper and the juice from half a lemon to start.
  3. Whirl away until all ingredients are fully combined, nuts and garlic are completely pulverized and you have a nice consistency.
  4. Taste adjusting salt and pepper and also add the remaining lemon juice if you want more tang for your taste buds. Whirl again until desired consistency then pour into an airtight container and enjoy on all the things!
  5. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
