TIPS:
Blend the pesto into a texture that's somewhere between finely minced and pureed. You may not want to overly puree your pesto!
You can freeze Kale Pesto in an ice tray to make pesto ice cubes! Once frozen, place the cubes in an airtight container and thaw out one serving at a time when needed.
