Baby Kale Pesto
Baby kale is an often-overlooked green, especially when perusing the produce section where spinach, lettuce and other greens are packed in clamshell containers. But this Baby Kale Pesto is a flavor bomb that lends itself to so many uses, including a seasonal Pesto Persimmon Salad. Sliced persimmons are layered with fresh mozzarella slices then drizzled with baby kale pesto for a fall and winter take on a classic caprese salad.
