I love a challenge, and hearing a 'this is delicious, Mom!' and seeing plates empty quickly—even when serving kale—is so rewarding. Kale is a light, flavorful vegetable with crisp, curly green or purple leaves. It's also great in juices! Look for it at your local farmers' markets.

Steps

10 minutes

1

Finely chop the boiled kale leaves. Add the ice cubes to keep the leaves from warming up.
2

In a food processor, blend the seeds and almonds. Add the grated cheeses and chopped kale, then slowly drizzle in the oil while blending until smooth and creamy.
3

Use the pesto to toss with pasta or spread on crostini. For a creamier touch, you can mix in some fresh burrata cheese. Enjoy!
