Three Greens Pesto

February 17, 2010

Three Greens are better than one! And it takes but a clever variety of greens to blend up this rare delight. Watercress…Basil…Parsley…Oh My!

Saves 3-4 days in the refrigerator (undressed and in a covered container). Plan ahead. Make enough for lunches and snacks.

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients: 5 tablespoons water 1 clove garlic 1/2 cup walnuts 1/2 cup almonds

6 grape or cherry tomatoes (or 1 medium tomato) 1/3 cup raw tahini 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 cup watercress 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup fresh parsley

Instructions: Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little more water if needed for desired consistency.

Serve as a dip for raw veggies or sandwich spread.
