This is so yummy and the color is beautiful! A great way to get more greens on the plate and a healthier alternative to regular pesto.

Steps

1

I used my vitamix blender and toasted the almonds in the pan and just threw everything in together and blended it!

It’s a really easy recipe! I served this pesto with some gluten free pasta and a homemade tomato pasta sauce I already had in the fridge. Season to taste. This fresh pesto easily keeps in the fridge for about a week. Yum!
