KVB Pesto

A nutrient rich petso using our Kalahari Vital Blend - dried microgreens

Here’s a simple and flavourful Kalahari Vital Blend Pesto Recipe using your microgreen mix:

Ingredients

• 20 g fresh Kalahari Vital Blend (or 2 g dried blend + 2 g mayonnaise for texture)

• 30 g fresh herb baby greens (basil or coriander work beautifully)

• 30 g roasted sunflower seeds (or pine nuts if preferred)

• 40 g grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 clove garlic (optional for extra punch)

• 60 ml extra virgin olive oil

• Pinch of coarse salt (your blend already has some, so taste before adding more)

• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

• Juice of ½ lemon (for brightness)

Method

1. Prepare the greens: Wash and pat dry the Kalahari Vital Blend and herb baby greens.

2. Blend: In a food processor, combine microgreens, herb greens, roasted seeds, Parmesan, and garlic.

3. Add oil gradually: While blending, slowly drizzle in olive oil until smooth and creamy.

4. Season: Add lemon juice, salt (if needed), and pepper. Blend briefly to combine.

5. Taste and adjust: Add more lemon or oil if you prefer a looser texture.
