Hawaiian Pesto

Description
Aloha! This pesto will take you to the islands.
Macadamia nuts have more monounsaturated fats (that may lower your LDL cholesterol levels) than any other natural food source. These little buttery balls are also full of vitamin E and selenium, both powerful antioxidants.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves Garlic, Pressed
- 1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach, Stemmed
- 1-½ cup Fresh Cilantro Leaves
- ⅓ cups Raw Macadamia Nuts
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- ⅓ cups Pineapple Juice
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- ¼ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper
Preparation
Place all ingredients into a small food processor or blender. Blend until pureed and smooth in texture.
Put into an airtight storage container. This will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
I used mine as a sauce for some whole grain spaghetti and garnished with fresh shaved Parmesan cheese and viola blossoms (edible). This would also be terrific on a grilled chicken breast or on a turkey burger.
