I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in this pesto. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pesto turned out really bitter. Maybe I used too much kale?

This pesto is a little too spicy for my taste, but it's still good. I might try it again with less red pepper flakes next time.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but this pesto changed my mind. It's so flavorful and versatile. I've used it on pasta, pizza, and even as a dip for vegetables.

This pesto is amazing! The kale gives it a nice peppery flavor and the pine nuts add a great crunch. I used it on pasta and it was delicious.
