radish greens from 1 bunch of radishes (about 3-4 cups)
optional – 1/2 cup basil leaves
1/3 cup toasted pine nuts*
3–4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp. fresh, black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
1–2 Tbsp. water – or to preference
Instructions
After you remove the radishes from the greens be sure to wash them WELL in very cold water. Then, gently blot dry with a towel and lay them to dry while you build the pesto.
Add the greens, basil (if using), pine nuts, garlic, parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a food processor or high-powered blender.
Blend, scraping down the sides often. Add water to get to your desired consistency and taste to check the seasoning levels.
Use the pesto over pasta, vegetables, as a dip, over salad greens or as a spread! Enjoy!
