Instructions
- Add all pesto ingredients except for olive oil to a food processor. Blend on high and slowly drizzle the olive oil in. Once all the oil is in, stop the machine and scrape down the sides. Blend further until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Serve immediately (or chill for 30 minutes) on fresh bread or crackers. Sprinkle red pepper flakes and drizzle olive oil over top if desired.
Notes
- This serves 2-4 - depends what you're using it for. It could easily serve 4 if this is just one of many appetizers at a party, for example. Avocado pesto is versatile... you can use it as a spread as I did, or put it into a sandwich as a condiment, dip crackers/pita/veggies in, or even serve it with pasta.
- As this condiment contains avocado, it's best eaten on day 1 or the next day as the avocado will brown.
- This is the food processor I used to make this recipe.
