A fresh, slightly bitter, and nutty pesto made with dandelion greens, radish leaves, and pepitas from the garden. Spooned over roasted beets with a little Matriarca Salsa Macha, it hits smoky, bright, and spicy all at once.

  • 12 radish leaves
  • 1 cup pepita seeds
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1 1/2 cups parmigiano reggiano
  • 1 whole lemon, squeezed
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups of extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp salsa macha
  • 1 tbsp salsa macha oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions
