Pesto with Greens

Ingredients

• 2 cups greens, washed (beet with stem removed, carrot, basil, spinach, etc.)
• 1/3 cup nuts (walnuts, pine nuts, etc.) or sunflower seeds
• 2 cloves garlic
• 120ml extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper (opt.)

Cookware

• Blender or food processor

Instructions

1. Put greens, nuts, and garlic in a blender and pulse until finely chopped.
2. Slowly add olive oil while continuing short pulses. We want the oil combined but we don't want a homogenous mixture.
3. Add nutritional yeast, pepper and salt and pulse some more. Add to taste.
4. Eat immediately or store in the fridge for short-term or the freeze for the long-term.
