1/2 cup nuts | you can use walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, or pecans

Instructions

Step One

Place your pine nuts, grated parmesan cheese, garlic, and salt into your food processor. Pulse them a few times until they are broken down into small bits. Add your kale to the processor and whizz a few more times until the kale is broken down into a very fine chop and everything is coarsely combined.

Step Two

Take the pesto mixture out of the food processor and put it in a bowl. Stir in the olive oil. Once combined, stir in your lemon juice.

Step Three

Taste. If it is missing some pizzazz then add a quick splash of lemon juice more, that tends to brighten it right up. Add any last salt and enjoy.
