It\u2019s prime time for lettuce and my refrigerator is overflowing with\u00a0fresh green leaves.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been making and eating many salads for lunch, but I\u2019ve recently created something different.\u00a0 Inspired by a recipe for a mild pesto using garlic scapes, I created an even lighter \u201cpesto\u201d made of lettuce.\u00a0 This is perfect for people who can not eat raw garlic and are looking for something new to\u00a0do with lettuce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lettuce \u201cPesto\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

6 cups torn\u00a0lettuce\u00a0leaves<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp. Garlic powder<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp. Pumpkin seeds<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp. Grated Pecorino Romano cheese<\/p>\n

\u00bd c. Extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n

Ground black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

1. In a food processor, blend all ingredients for the lettuce \u201cpesto\u201d.<\/p>\n

I shared 1 cup of rice\u00a0(pictured above) with my sister.\u00a0Reminder:\u00a01\u00a0serving of rice is 1\/2 cup.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Soon, I’ll have to get creative with lettuce again.\u00a0 I overheard a woman at my\u00a0CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) pick-up site talking\u00a0about a good lettuce soup recipe she found on the internet.\u00a0 I may have to look into it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
