Raw Asparagus Pesto

After learning how good asparagus is for the body and how well it helps the kidneys. I thought this recipe was an excellent one. It is not cooked so the the asparagus is full of Vitamin A, Folic Acid. Did you know that asparagus has the largest percentage of RDA of folic acid then any other food source!! So eat up. This is excellent served as a dip or a spread. This recipe came from one of my favorite magazines: Organic Gardening

Awesome - had just a little over a cup of fresh asparagus, so made this. Ate it with tortilla chips. Thanks for a new way to use up asparagus. Just had to add a note. My dh who hates asparagus tried this and liked it. I kind of forgot to tell him it was made with asparagus.

I thought this was an excellent pesto. I added some pine nuts and a dash of salt and pepper. My husband and I both ate more than our fill!

I did about half the oil... used vegan Parmesan cheese... added some fresh basil... added some lemon juice... and some almond milk to make it more creamy/pourable ... oh, and just a little vegan mozzarella cheese... and used it for pasta! it was great!! And I dont even LIKE asparagus!! so that's sayin a WHOLE lot!!
