kale, spinach and basil pesto

spinach, lightly packed

kale, rinsed and de-stemed, lightly packed - roughly 2 large leaves or 3 small leaves

basil, lightly packed - roughly 14-15 basil leaves - feel free to add a few more leaves if you love basil

unsalted raw whole almonds, lightly toasted - I show you how to toast them below. Toasted almonds add tons of flavor and a chunky texture to the pesto. You could also try toasted walnuts, but I haven't tried that yet!

olive oil

Parmesan Cheese

fine sea salt

large cloves garlic, peeled

fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
