It’s possible that kale’s moment has passed. This is not a concern for me. At all.

I actually like kale now.

And I’ve always loved anything pesto so it seemed reasonable to use up that bag of not-yet-dead kale and get something yummy to spread on my latest obsession: vegetarian sandwiches.

This recipe for kale pesto has nutritional yeast in it. Nutritional yeast is something I’m currently experimenting with. Bottom line: it’s pretty tasty, easy to use, and works particularly well as a parmesan cheese replacement. I will certainly buy another container. It’s the yellow powder in the photo below.

To be clear: Parmesan cheese is an absolute favorite of mine. In fact, you might call it a trigger food. I always have it and have been known to polish off a wedge in a single sitting. No need for crackers or grapes. Just the cheese. So, for me to think nutritional yeast works is a thing. I am not blowing smoke up your skirt. If you can’t face driving to a grocery store, buy it here.

The other weird/new thing this recipe has is Herbamare original. This is a spice blend I get from Amazon. It checks all the boxes for organic, gluten-free, and no MSG. I started playing with Herbamare because I wanted to make ranch dressing at home without, well, the ranch spice packet … haven’t quite figured that one out yet.
