Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : LowerCarbs

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 large Swiss chard leaves -- stems removed
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1 lemon -- juice only
1 tablespoon tahini -- sesame seed paste
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil

Pulse, scraping the sides a few times with a spatula, until completely combined into a paste.

Serves 6 (generous three-tablespoon serving each)

AuthorNote: This makes more pesto than necessary for this recipe, but it's a good thing... really! You can refrigerate the leftovers and use it the next day over some pasta or with scrambled eggs. It's also dairy-free but you won't miss the cheese, it stands up on its own just beautifully.
