Description
I combined some of the healthiest and yummiest ingredients in my refrigerator to create one of my favorite things on the planet - pesto! The richness of the toasted walnuts is an elegant pairing with the kale and walnut oil, plus it's a very versatile pesto. I served it with poached chicken, but it would be great with whole wheat pasta, quinoa and steamed veggies, or even on your favorite grilled white fish. Double this recipe and freeze the extra half. Keeps for 7-10 days in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
- 5 Tbsp. walnut oil

- Set aside, let cool. In a food processor, add all ingredients, pulse until well combined and relatively smooth. Taste and adjust for seasoning.
