Last night I was hungry for pesto, but I don’t like all the oil in most pesto recipes and I wondered what would happen if I used an avocado instead. I’m glad I tried it, it’s wonderful! I had this on top of raw spiralized zucchini, YUM! All the measurements are approximate, use more or less of anything to your own...

Ingredients

1 lare bunch fresh basil
2 cup pumpkin seeds, soaked & drained
1 avocado
2 clove garlic, roughly chopped

Recipe Directions

Pull the basil leaves off their stems and combine in a food processor with an “S” blade with the remaining ingredients; process until creamy. You’ll probably have to scrape the sides down a couple times to make sure everything gets incorporated. Enjoy!
