Raw Celery Leaf Pesto

For this simple recipe I used leaves from an re-grown organic stalk celery (Apium graveolens var. dulce) but you can also use the cutting celery (Apium graveolens var. secalinum)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup celery leaves 
  • 3-5 Brazil nuts, soaked overnight and dehydrated
  • 1 clove garlic
  • freshly pressed juice of 1/2 lemon
  • lemon zest of 1/2 organic lemon
  • 1/3 cup virgin olive oil
  • pinch Celtic sea salt to taste

Method:

  • Using S blade of your food processor roughly chop the Brazil nuts. 
  • Add celery leaves, garlic and lemon juice to the food processor and pulse blend until you receive a thick paste. 
  • Add lemon zest and olive oil and whiz for a few seconds. Taste and add salt as needed. Enjoy in good company on spiralized vegetables, as a base for a salad dressing, or as a dip.

In radiant health, passionately raw - Dominique
