Reviews
Of course this is best fresh, or the next day when all the ingredients have incorporated. But it also freezes well, I do that for hot summer lazy days, with a piece of crostini, prosciutto optional, covered in fresh mozzarella…
Excellent flavor and great texture. I made this with a Vitamix instead of a processor so my consistency was even creamier. This recipe is totally tweakable too. I was watching Ree and just ran into the kitchen to make this while the show was running. I used baby kale ’cause didn’t have any spinach, a little tabasco in place of the serano and oh no I didn’t have any cucumber, which I thought was important, used one zuchinni and honestly I don’t think you will notice the difference. Everything else was in the fridge! This is very sophisticated flavor and really easy. A great way to get your family to eat their greens. Perfect for a luncheon.
