When Spring arrives and the Spruce trees sprout their bright vivid green, it is a happy sight. Spruce sprout pesto tastes delicious and is easy to make! Recipe: 1 cup fresh spruce sprouts, a few fresh basil leaves, 1/4 cup chopped nuts (I have used almonds and hazelnuts but any nut should be fine), 1/3 cup nutritional yeast, juice of 1/4 medium lemon, couple pinches of sea salt, 1/8 cup olive oil. Blend together in a blender until creamy. I add a splash of water or olive oil to help it blend easier and become creamier in texture. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 1 week. Although it tastes so fresh & yummy that it will probably be gone within a couple days.
