Ingredients

  • 2 Bunch Cilantro
  • 2 Bunch Italian Parsley
  • 5 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 Cup Raw Walnuts
  • 1 Cup Chosen Foods Avocado Oil
  • 1 Tsp Redmond Real Salt

Instructions

  1. In food processor add walnuts and garlic. Rinse the herbs in water and 'wring' dry like you would a sponge. Then, twist and break off the leaves and stuff them all in.

  2. Get as many greens as you can. If you need the stems use them too, all the way to the top! Cover and begin on low, then pour the avocado oil in slowly, like a pancake syrup style drizzle consistently.

  3. Blend for 2 minutes, if needed use a spatula to push bits down again then blend again. The texture is a little nutty still with big notes of garlic and oil is still slightly separated. If you'd like keep going another 2 minutes for more of a paste!
