Kale and Walnut Pesto with a Touch of Brazil Nut and Lemon

Cooking Steps

  • 1
    Add all ingredients into a blending cup with a little bit of water. You can also add a tablespoon of olive oil if you prefer. This time I left it out.
  • 2
    Blend well but not until completely smooth. Let it cool in the fridge for an hour, well covered with lid or foil. Serve cool with fresh vegetables and enjoy.

I have so much fresh kale in my garden that I just have to consume it every day. 🙂

This plant is maybe the easiest one to grow. We leave it during the coldest winter and the hottest summer, and it still survives and grows! Well, I don’t mind.  It’s a great addition to my green smoothies. I love it also in dips, sauces and pestos. Here I offer you the recipe of one pesto with kale that I recently made. It’s a quick dip to make when you have a bunch of greens and nuts and you enjoy raw vegetables as a snack.

I like to serve this pesto with fresh vegetables but also accompanied with a warm meal for dinner. For example, the other day I made the quinoa risotto from my ebook “The Working Week Reset” , prepared a plate with raw veggies and added this pesto in the middle. Just like in the picture below.

Kale is one of the most nutritious plants on the planet. Even though there are people who avoid it, kale offers plenty of health benefits, such as:

  • it contains vitamin A, K, C, B6, Manganese, Copper, Magneisum and more
  • at the same time, kale is extremely low in calories
  • kale is loaded with powerful antioxidants like Quercetin and Kaempferol
  • eating kale shows to low cholesterol levels
  • it may help prevent heart disease
  • kale contains numerous cancer-fighting substances

In this pesto recipe, we also have one whole cup of raw walnuts, several Brazil nuts, garlic, onion, lemon juice – so much health and life! All these ingredients are vegan, promote longevity and help regenerate the body. You might want to give it a try.

Enjoy!
