Kale Walnut Pesto
Most any green can be whirled up in a pesto, particularly spring kale, when it is abundant and endless.
This is hands down the best selling side at Kayne Prime Steakhouse. They make it in huge quantities. As the kale isn't cooked, the key is to finely chop the kale in a food processor.
