Ingredients
-
5 cups (about 1/2 bunch - use the rest for kale chips!) kale, stemmed and torn into pieces
3 cups spinach
1/2 cup almonds, toasted
4-6 cloves garlic
3-4 tbsp olive oil. The fruitier the better - and you can get away with using less!
1 tsp coarse salt, with more as needed
Tips
To toast almonds: toast on a baking sheet at 400 degrees or in a pan on medium-high until fragrant and slightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.
You can also use roasted garlic instead of raw for a milder flavor.
Directions
Using a food processor or blender, process kale, spinach, almonds, garlic and salt on high until paste-like and crumbly, scraping down the sides as necessary. Drizzle in olive oil and process until smooth.
Use over pasta, as a spread in sandwiches or on salad!
