This fresh take on pesto powers up the nutritive value with kale, ground mustard seed, and walnuts. The addition of mustard seed increases the formation of the phytonutrient sulforaphane, a powerful free-radical scavenger, in the kale, while the walnuts add a great source of cardio-supportive omega-3 fats. It's delicious and deeply nutritious! Serve it on fish, chicken, or pasta.

8
10 minutes
2 cups chopped organic kale leaves, (remove leaves from stems before chopping)
1 cup organic basil leaves
1 organic garlic clove
1 tablespoon organic lemon juice

  1/3 - 3/4 cup Natural Grocers Brand Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Natural Grocers Brand Bulk
1⁄2 cup Organic Walnut Halves and Pieces
1⁄2 teaspoon Real Salt
1⁄4 teaspoon Organic Ground Black Pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon Organic Ground Yellow Mustard Seed

1. Place kale and basil into a food processor and pulse until chopped.
