Ingredients: 

1/2 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
2-3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup basil, packed
3 cups spinach, packed
1 (12 ounce) package silken soft tofu, drained
squeeze of lemon, to taste

Directions: 

1. Blend nuts, sea salt, garlic, and oil until roughly mixed. Try to not to over blend as you'll need to blend in the other ingredients.
2. Add basil and spinach, blend well.
3. Add tofu and squeeze of lemon. Blend to desired consistency.
Keep in the fridge. This also freezes well, so be sure to make lots while you can get local basil. Or, better, use your own. You can also play with the nut ratio and the greens ratio to change the taste.
