Ingredients

  • 2 ounces walnuts toasted
  • 6 cloves garlic I used big cloves; we could have cut that back a bit
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cups Kale leaves I just used all of one medium size bunch with the ends trimmed off
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon salt I would have liked a bit less salt than the 1 tsp in the recipe so taste yours and correct as necessary

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • Keep refrigerated.
  • Serve as an appetizer with chips or cracker, as a sandwich spread, in a salad dressing or over warm pasta. I've done them all!
