Carrot Greens Pesto
Ever get carrots with the greens still on them but you don’t know what to do with them… so you throw them out?? I hear you. I used to do the same until I realized how delicious (very similar to parsley) and nutrient-dense they are, and making up some Carrot Greens Pesto is the perfect way to use them up.
Benefits of carrot greens: vitamins A and C, potassium, fiber even calcium, iron, and protein.
Carrot greens are delicious (similar to parsley) and nutrient-dense, but often get thrown out. Use them up in this flavorful pesto and enjoy as a sauce, dressing, or dip.
- Carrot greens , roughly chopped
- Any additional greens of choice (ie. collards, kale)
- Avocado
- Raw pumpkin seeds
- Fresh garlic
- Lemon, peeled or juiced
- Pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Water, as needed
-
Using a blender or food processor, blend as much of each ingredient as desired to your preferred consistency. More avocado will make it more creamy and like a guacamole, more seeds will make more texture, and use as much water as needed to get to your desired thickness.
-
Taste. Assess flavor. Adjust ingredients and seasonings. If unsure exactly how much of an ingredient to start with, start with a lesser amount and then you can always add more after tasting.
-
Enjoy as a sauce, dressing, or dip.
