Chickweed Pesto

Frugal Forager’s Chickweed Pesto
This pesto-ish formula skips cheese and uses whatever nuts you have on hand.
Servings 2 Cup(s)

Ingredients
  

  • Several cups fresh chickweed, washed and drained
  • 1 cup nuts of your choice, such as walnuts
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Several pours (tablespoons) oil (olive recommended)
  • Several squeezes citrus (lemon or lime) juice or a few teaspoons vinegar
  • Few pinches salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the ingredients in a food processor.
    Adjust proportions of each as you wish. More chickweed results in a greener, wetter paste. Balance proportions of oil to vinegar at a 2:1 ratio. Add more oil if you wish to freeze for winter.
