Prepare a large pot of water and bring to a simmer. Add enough salt to make it "salty like the sea."
While water is heating, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
Blanch all green vegetables (kale, carrot/radish tops, basil, and parsley) in the simmering water for approximately 45 seconds.
Immediately transfer blanched greens to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Remove greens from ice bath and squeeze out excess water thoroughly.
Transfer squeezed greens to a high-powered blender or food processor.
Begin blending the greens while slowly streaming in olive oil until you achieve a smooth consistency. Remember that the lemon juice will thin the mixture further.
In a separate bowl, combine the filtered lemon juice, salt, and coriander.
Add the blended pesto to the bowl with the lemon juice mixture.
Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the radishes and slice them with mandoline or sharp knife in 1/8-inch medallions. Then cut the medallions into half moons
In a mixing bowl toss the watermelon radishes with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
Spread them onto the lined sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the radishes and roast for 10 minutes more.
Meanwhile prepare the sauce by combining the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, green onion, mint, dill, parsley, water, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor and pulse until very smooth. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on each plate and top with the roasted radishes, a sprinkle of green onion and a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Recipe Notes
Use the sauce to make a slaw out of shredded radish, carrots and cabbage.
Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, in a pot of salted boiling water, until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the garlic is lightly browned around the edges. Add the kale, salt, and several grinds of pepper and cook, tossing with tongs, until the kale is wilted, up to 1 minute.
Add the spaghetti and toss to combine. Add ½ cup pasta water, lemon juice, lemon zest, and toss. If the pasta is seeming too dry, add the remaining ½ cup pasta water to create a light sauce.
Season to taste. Garnish with parsley and serve with Parmesan or vegan Parmesan.
