Do not be turned off by this recipe. It is delicious, and you can think of this recipe as a gift for your heart. It has walnuts which supply antioxidants and nutrients like magnesium and omega fatty acids. Walnuts deliver a plant-based fatty acid, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), essential for heart health. The leafy greens are rich in fiber, potassium, vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, and folate, all-important supporters of cardiometabolic health. More importantly, the leafy greens are directly converted into nitric oxide, a powerful component in optimizing cardiac health. This pesto is exceptionally versatile and can be used over meats, vegetables, hummus, or vegetable noodles. Give it a try! Your heart will thank you!! Ingredients 7-8 cups of winter greens like kale, Swiss chard, beet greens, and baby spinach,...

If you are lucky enough to find local carrots with the tops still on don’t throw out the leaves. One of the things I like to make with the leaf tops is Carrot Top Pesto.
