Make DELICIOUS Beet Green Pesto in 15 Minutes

Start with 4 to 6 cups of tightly packed beet greens.

Pulse the beet greens in a food processor to break them down a bit.

Add the zest and juice of 1 lemon to the beet greens in the food processor.

Add 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese to the mixture.

Add 3 cloves of garlic (smashed) to the food processor.

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of Redmond sea salt, taste, and adjust if necessary.

Add about 1/2 cup of walnuts (or more) to the mixture.

With the food processor running, slowly add 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil until the desired consistency is reached.

Taste the pesto and adjust seasoning if needed.

Use the beet green pesto immediately or freeze it for later use.
