Broccoli Pesto
Ready In: 20 mins
Yields: 2-3 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli, chopped small
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons almonds, in small pieces
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- garlic salt
- pepper
- dill
Directions
- Break down your broccoli into small florets. Peel and chop the stems. If you are making the Broccoli and Green Bean Quinoa, start with 5 cups of Broccoli and use the stems and less attractive florets for the pesto.
- Boil the broccoli until cooked through. Drain.
- Using an immersion blender or a food processor, puree the broccoli with the oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, almond pieces and mayonnaise. Add garlic salt, pepper and dill to taste. I use my immersion blender in a large mason jar and it works perfectly.
- Chill and serve with pasta, vegetables, bread, etc.
