Beans ‘n’ Greens Pesto

What a delightful and easy way to get a lot of nutrients! This dish is a snap to put together. Total prep time 10 minutes. If you’re a foodie blogger like me, I’m sure you know that sometimes recipes just don’t come together. I can plan and plot and tweak and fiddle for hours and the end result is just… well, not good. But on the other hand, sometimes I get an idea, whip it up in a flash and it’s a winner. That’s how this recipe came to be… I love it when that happens.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup tightly packed chopped kale
• handful fresh basil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1 TBS hemp hearts
• juice of 1/2 lime
• 2 cans salt-free garbanzo beans

1. Place all the ingredients, except the beans, into a food processor and process until you get a chunky paste. Takes less than a minute.
2. Toss with the beans.

   Thanks! Hemp hearts is just another term for raw hemp seeds 🙂
