Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 medium avocados
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh basil, packed and chopped
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Method
Step 1
Add all of your ingredients to a food processor.
Step 2
Use the pulse setting to pulse pesto until combined and uniform. The pesto should still have some texture from finely chopped walnuts (don’t blend until smooth).
Step 3
Serve mixed with pasta, as a spread or dip, or store in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered with plastic wrap placed directly on top of the pesto.
