Avocado Sunflower Pesto
Report
This Avocado Sunflower Pesto brings the smooth texture of avocados and buttery flavor of sunflower seeds together with bright basil for a nutritious dip.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 avocado pitted and peeled
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 c basil leaves chopped coarsely, fresh
- ¼ c sunflower seeds
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 4 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. (If your avocados are particularly firm, you may need to gradually add more oil to reach a smooth consistency.)
- Serving Suggestions: Serve as a toast or cracker topper with some diced tomatoes. Use it to moisten your favorite sandwich instead of mayo. Try it with pasta or chicken.
Notes
- To peel and pit the avocado, we normally take a small knife and cut a slit all the way around the circumference of the fruit, cutting down to the pit. Once the cut is made, you can twist the halves in opposite directions and the pit should release from one of the sides. To remove the pit from the other side, give it a good whack with a large knife. When the knife is imbedded in the pit, twist to pop it out. You can then use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the skin.
