Pesto doesn't have to be basil, pine nuts, and Parmesan! Try mixing things up with different greens, nuts or seeds, cheese, and oil for a little extra flair.

Ingredients

  • 1–2 bunches greens, destemmed
  • ¼ cup toasted nuts or seeds
  • 2–3 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup grated cheese
  • ¾–1 cup oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Add greens, nuts or seeds, garlic, and cheese to a food processor and blend until well incorporated. Slowly add oil until ingredients move freely in the bowl, scraping down the sides as necessary. When oil is incorporated, season with salt and pepper. Store covered in refrigerator until ready to serve.
