An avocado pesto recipe.
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup of basil leaves
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • ⅛ cup of pine nuts or slivered almonds
  • juice of 1 lime - about 2½ tablespoons
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 3 zucchini
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. For the pesto: Blend. Scrape down. Blend again. That is all.
  2. For the zucchini noodles: spiralize three zucchini, or peel into strips with a veggie peeler. Heat a skillet with the olive oil over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add the noodles and toss for 2-3 minutes, or just until heated through and lightly cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Toss noodles with as much pesto as you like, starting with one spoonful and building from there. Avoid over-saucing!
