I have tons of basil from my garden can I add in a cup of fresh basil?

Easy and delicious! I used half walnuts/half hemp seeds. For the 1/3 optional parm, I used a mix of cashews and nutritional yeast to keep it vegan. Definitely a keeper recipe esp since I rarely have a ton of fresh basil.

The super kale pesto recipe was delicious! I added Nutritional yeast in place of cheese.
Love it!

This was great! Didn’t use parm and I didn’t have kale so I used SuperGreens (tat soi, arugula, spinach and swiss chard) and it came out very tasty. Used it on your quinoa salad with roasted sweet potatoes and kale (had to save my kale for the salad!). Thanks for another delicious and healthy recipe!

I made this kale pesto with a large bag of frozen kale thawed (3 cups), olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and hemp seeds with Jovial gluten free spaghetti for dinner last night. It was a hit! I accidentally added too much pepper, which gave it a lil kick. We adults loved it, but the kick made it “too spicy” for my kid. This made enough for leftovers. I can’t wait to eat it again!

This is second time making this pesto. I only had lacinato kale so it was a bit darker but still yummy. Used walnuts as hemp seeds too expensive. Served with spaghetti squash. Very tasty!

In reply to Ruj. Remove the thick stems. If they are on the smaller side, they should work ok. Let me know what you think!

Do you destem the kale first or does everything go in, leaves and stem?
