This no-oil pesto is a powerfully nutritious sauce packed with superfoods: Kale, Walnuts, Garlic. And it’s as delicious as it is nutritious. This is a new must-have all the time sauce in our house. Serve on everything! More please!

2 cups loosely packed kale leaves
3/4 cups walnuts
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
3 fresh garlic cloves
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon miso

Put all the ingredients except the miso in a high powered blender and blend until creamy. Pour into a saucepan. Heat, stirring occasionally on medium heat until sauce begins to bubble. Remove from heat and let set for a minute or two. Stir in miso. Toss with pasta, whole grains, steamed veggies or serve as a dip.

  1. This is delicious, full of flavor, healthy and very easy to make. I sometimes use a little more nutritional yeast than the recipe calls for and add a little fresh lemon juice and/or lemon zest to crank the flavor up a notch.

    • Thanks for trying it. I agree, it’s delicious! I also agree about flavoring it the way you like. I once made this dish for my sister in Florida, and without the exact same ingredients that I use at home, it was a little different and needed adjustments.

    • Any unsweetened non dairy milk will be fine. Almond, Cashew, Oat, Hemp, Rice, etc. Each will impart a slightly different flavor.
