Kale and Walnut Vegan Pesto

This Kale and Walnut Vegan Pesto is a staple in my kitchen for so many recipes!

Pesto is one of my favourite condiments to make. I can turn it into a sandwich, turn it into sauce for pasta, potato salad or simply a dip for crudite. There are a million different variations on pesto but for today’s recipe I’m making KALE AND WALNUT.

4 cups packed curly kale

1 lemon juiced
¼ cup nooch

Instructions

Place all ingredients but olive oil in the food processor and pulse. Scrape down the sides and turn on the processor. Slowly drizzle olive oil in, scraping down sides as needed. Once pesto is complete transfer to a container and drizzle the last 2 tbsp of olive oil on top.

Notes

Pesto saves really well in the freezer. I have never tried freezing in ice cube trays but I do love little mini mason jars.

  Hey Stacia, Nooch is nutritional yeast. I have a bad habit of calling it that! Sorry for the confusion 🙂
