Mustard Green Pesto

This is a light and healthy pesto sauce from an easy to grow mustard greens which makes a great green meal for St. Patrick's Day.

For this recipe you will need:

one chump of Green Streaks mustard greens
garlic
1 cup of olive oil
pinch of salt

This recipe can be adjusted for whatever greens you have available in your garden. I have used Red Giant mustard greens, spinach, or arugula also. Green Streaks mustard gives a light and tangy taste to the pesto.

Step 1: Harvesting your Produce

Go out to your garden and harvest the mustard greens and young mustard that you need for this recipe. Alternatively, go to a store and buy the ingredients.

Thanks, I also grow a red version of this mustard which actually turns out a unique purple color for the pesto. I tried mixing the two but the color is really not attractive. Still tastes good though.
