3 Cheese Microgreen and Spinach Pesto
A Gourmet Harvest in Every Spoonful
Packed with nutrient-rich ingredients like fresh spinach and delicate shoots, this pesto adds a savory punch without overshadowing your dishes. It’s the perfect way to highlight the bright, crisp flavors of greens picked straight from your own garden. When you harvest from your Seasonal Garden Kit and Microgreens Garden Kit, you are using ingredients at their nutritional zenith. This microgreen and spinach pesto combines the peppery notes of young shoots with a rich, three-cheese blend, creating a high-nutrient sauce that breathes life into any meal.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
- 2 cups spinach leaves, stems removed
- 2 cups microgreens
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
- ½ – ¾ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup gruyère, grated
- ¼ cup creamy goat cheese
- ¼ cup parmesan, grated
- Juice from ½ lemon
- Big pinch of salt & few turns of pepper
Directions:
Throw all ingredients into a food processor.
Blend until the mixture reaches your desired consistency—either perfectly smooth or a bit chunky.
Taste for seasoning and add more of whatever flavor is lacking.
Storage Tip: Store in the fridge for up to a week. To prevent browning, keep a thin coating of olive oil on top of the pesto
