    Rainbow Chard Pumpkin Seed Pesto:

    2 cups rainbow chard leaves, leaves only, roughly chopped

    1 medium Campari tomato

    1 cup raw pumpkin seeds

    3 garlic cloves, peeled

    Juice of 1 lemon

    3 tbsp apple cider vinegar, with the mother

    1 tbsp coconut aminos

    ¼ tsp cayenne pepper

    ¼ tsp ground black pepper

    Raw pumpkin seeds

    Directions:

    Prepare kelp noodles in a large bowl by pouring over the juice of 1 lemon, and enough warm water to fully submerge the noodles. Massage the kelp noodles well with your hands until soft. Let sit while progressing with the recipe. 

    In a food processor or sturdy blender, blend together all of the ingredients for the pesto until smooth and creamy.  

    Rinse and drain the kelp noodles, then add to a medium saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir in the pesto and chopped dandelion greens. Toss everything together and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are evenly coated and everything is warmed through.
