CBd Superfood Walnut Pesto

We’ve been on a pesto kick lately. . . and we’re feeling pretty good about it! ☺️

🍃There’s something about the garlicky, herbaceous flavor of pesto that feels in perfect alignment with the onset of spring.

It is reminiscent of the abundant growth that our gardens, forests, and fields will soon offer! And it is a tasty reminder of the exciting cooking opportunities that lie ahead from fresh garden produce and herbs.

This pesto is made with walnuts instead of pine nuts, giving it a slightly nuttier flavor. In addition to olive oil, we’ve used some @cbdsuperfood ghee to create a smoother texture and buttery taste. 😋

We’ve added a little extra flavor with garlic, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. We spread some on a slice of bread from one of our favorite local bakeries, @oldworldlevain .

We hope you’ll head to your own local bakery this weekend for some fresh-baked goodness, and be sure to lather this on top for a spring snack! 💚
