Ingredients

1 cup kale leaves tightly packed
2 cups fresh basil
1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast*
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
1/2 cup avocado oil or olive oil**

Instructions

Add all ingredients except oil to a food processor and pulse until chopped.
Once chopped, turn the food processor on and stream the oil through the opening in the top.
Continue processing until desired texture is reached. Taste pesto for flavor and add more sea salt or nutritional yeast

Notes

*Replace the nutritional yeast and cider vinegar with 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese if you do dairy. If you go this route, increase the amount of avocado oil to 2/3 cup or 1 cup.

**Use more avocado oil for thinner, saucier consistency
