Raw Kale and Broccoli Pesto

Raw Kale and Broccoli Pesto

Created by Joni Marie Newman

This bright green “pesto” is full of bright green flavor! It is a great, bright Spring flavor that pairs well with pasta (cold or hot), on zoodles, potatoes, a salad dressing, with rice, as a sandwich spread...or anywhere else you would use pesto!
