Wild Greens Pesto

A fresh pesto made from foraged herbs and garden weeds

Ingredients

  • Dandelion leaves and sometimes flowers
  • Mint
  • Rosemary
  • Marjoram
  • Wild Onions
  • Thyme
  • Olive Oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Garlic
  • Salt and pepper

Lately I've been rummaging around in our yard, on our lawn and finding handfuls of fresh herbs and weeds to make pesto with. See what you can find in your garden and experiment - for me, it always comes out different.

Instructions

  1. Blend ingredients together
  2. Add nuts (almond, pine, pecan, hazel, etc)
  3. Add extras as optional: peppers for more spice, cheese (feta, goat or hard cheeses)

Delicious on just about anything, or by itself!
