- 5 packed cups fresh Mint Leaves
- 1/4 cup Pecan Bits or Halves
- Large pinch of Kosher Salt
- 1/4 cup Almond Oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
- Place the mint leaves, nuts and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Turn on and drizzle the almond oil through the top of the food processor to pulverize the mint and nuts. Stop to scrap the sides of the bowl.
- While the processor is running, drizzle the honey through the top and process until the pesto is fairly smooth. Remove and serve. Note: the pesto can 'oxidize' and turn brownish on the surface. A quick stir will expose the earthy green underneath!
