Ingredients

Super Food Walnut Pesto Recipe: (4-6 servings)  
1 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
2 tablespoons white miso
1–2 garlic cloves, start with one
¼ cup water
3–4 cups baby superfood greens (baby kale, arugula, spinach, chard)
squeeze of lemon to taste

Assembly: (2 servings)
4 ounces dry soba noodles (sub GF noodles)
½ cup shredded cabbage
¼ cup sliced radishes
1 cup of power greens
⅛– ¼ cup walnuts
olive oil and lemon for drizzling
optional additions: edamame, sunflower sprouts, avocado, snow peas

Instructions:

  1. Begin by getting your soba noodles cooking, cook according to directions.
  2. Make the Superfood Walnut Pesto: Place walnuts, miso, oil, garlic and water into a food processor and pulse repeatedly. Add the power greens and pulse. Adjust consistency by adding more water if you like. Add a squeeze of lemon, pulse, and taste. Add more garlic, lemon or salt to taste. (The miso is satisfyingly salty so I didn’t add salt.)
  3. Toss the noodles with ⅓-½ of the walnut pesto (you will have enough walnut pesto for 4-6 servings).
  4. Place noodles in a bento box with a handful of greens, shredded cabbage, walnuts and radishes. (Feel free to add avocado, or other veggies)
  5. Drizzle veggies with a little olive oil, lemon and salt. Pack it up with a set of chopsticks and you are good to go.
