Baby Kale and Basil Pesto – FRESH. OUT. – mobicon.org

Ingredients

• Measure almonds in a glass measuring cup and cover with boiling water. Let soak while prepping remaining ingredients.
• Combine nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl and set aside.
• In a food processor, layer half of the kale, then the basil, then the seasoning mixture, and finally, the remaining kale.
• Add lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the water.
• Drain the almonds and cover with cold water to cool. If you prefer not to use the skins, now is the perfect time to pop the almonds right out. Drain the cooled almonds and add to the food processor.
• Slowly add the reserved water, a teaspoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is desired.
