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.
