Patty's Kale Pesto
From Dothan, Alabama
<p>For all you “free” people…this is dairy, gluten/tree nut free. Pesto made with kale and avocado rather than basil. I like a <span class="caps">LOT</span> of garlic so feel free to decrease the amount <span class="caps">LOL</span>.</p>Source: My Own Creation (Entered by Patricia Donovan)
