If you don't have kale, check out the other twisted pesto recipes I found below! A great spin to a classic, kale adds a wonderful flavor to this pesto! If basil is not plentiful this is a great alternative and I bet most would not even notice the kale (over just traditional basil). Garlicy, fresh and fragrant with a tiny chew to it and with a huge dose of Kale, even healthier than the traditional version. Note: I always make up the pesto a few days ahead of time, as the flavors meld, and it saves me a step come dinner time.
