  2. Place radish greens, pine nuts, parmesan cheese garlic and lemon juice into a food processor and pulse until chopped fine.
  3. Slowly drizzle olive oil into food processor while pulsing until everything emulsifies into a thick paste.

If you do not have enough radsh greens to equal 3 cups, you can use spinach in combination with those you do have.
