Notes
- Nutrition calculated using 1/4 c parmesan and 1 c olive oil. Adjust nutrition values according to how much you have added to the final recipe.
- You may require more or less olive oil, depending on how thick you like your pesto.
- Optional - 1 - 2 tbsp butter if your kale is too bitter. Butter makes it creamy, smooth and removes that bitterness.
