Introduction:
Maybe you’ve seen it growing everywhere, but you never knew its power… The humble dandelion, often dismissed as a weed, is actually packed with nutrients and bursting with flavor. This Dandelion Pesto Power Spread transforms foraged greens into a bold, zesty condiment that’s perfect on toast, pasta, or as a dip. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also a sustainable, budget-friendly way to add wild goodness to your meals.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh dandelion greens (young leaves preferred, thoroughly washed)
1/2 cup walnuts (toasted for extra flavor)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan version)
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Wash and pat dry the dandelion greens. Remove any tough stems.
In a food processor, combine the greens, walnuts, Parmesan, garlic, and lemon juice.
Pulse until a coarse paste forms.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while processing, until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
