Avocado Pesto

September 26, 2023

This pesto is versatile and easy to throw together and use more than once during the week. It can be easily thrown together in the food processor. It will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Use it tossed with pasta and grilled shrimp, fish, or chicken. Roast vegetables and toss a few tablespoons with them once they are out of the oven. One of our favorite ways to use this pesto is on a portobello mushroom topped with thinly sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and roasted in the oven. Avocado Pesto 1 ripe avocado 1 cup packed fresh basil ¼ cup salted or unsalted pistachios (adjust by adding no salt if using salted) 2 T lemon juice ¼ t pepper 3 garlic cloves ¼ to 1/3...
