Avocado Pesto
Hey guys, I assure you that this Avocado Pesto Recipe is like a mouth-watering recipe in your favourites list. It is spoon worthy!
This creamy pesto is easygoing without being overly rich, thanks to such a cool avocado and just a touch of olive oil. Using a fresh avocado for its creamy consistency is the best tip ever, rather than other pricey cheeses, This Avocado Pesto is less expensive to make than traditional pesto. Avocado pesto is creamy, flavorful, and filled with vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It’s made like regular pesto, but the addition of avocado turns it into a tasty thing.
Frankly, this recipe is not a low-fat recipe because It contains avocados, walnuts, and olive oil (You can use water as an alternative). But, these are all healthy, so you do not need to worry about the fats (because they are too good)
This avocado pesto is a multi-user. You can use it for many foods like Zucchini noodles, baguette, pasta, etc. I personally like it as a dip for vegetables or slathered over chicken or other kinds of seafood. I recommend you to use this soon after making it because even a fresh avocado can turn into brown if it stays for too long. I am pretty sure that your family will love this easy side dish.
