Avocado Pesto

Avocado pesto blends the both of avocados and well, pesto in a really tasty and creamy combination.

Serving suggestions: mix into zucchini noodles, use as a dip for veggies or spread over eggs.

Prep time: 10 min     Cook time:  0 min     Makes: ~2.5 cups

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe avocados, peeled
• 1 cup basil leaves, packed
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, depending if you’re married or single (kidding)
• 1/2 cup pine nuts (or a mixture of pine nuts and pistachios)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• ~1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil (I like Kasandrinos)

Directions:

1. In a food processor combine all the ingredients except the olive oil. 
2. While the food processor is running, drizzle in the olive oil. Add less if you like a thicker pesto and more if you want it thinner.
