Avocado Pesto

Don't you just love pesto? I don't know what it is- the fresh basil taste, the nutty flavor from the pine nuts, or the creaminess texture... Whatever it is, I'm not complaining! What I do wish it was was a litttttle healthier for you (it's packed with calories and fat).

This avocado pesto recipe is a great alternative that will satisfy any pesto craving without sacrificing the flavor. Plus, it's so fresh and is full of essential healthy fat!

Ingredients: (serves 2)
- 1 avocado
- 1 lemon
- Fresh basil (as much or as little as you want. I personally love basil so I kept adding in more)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 cup of pine nuts

*You will also need a food processor

Directions:
- Put all ingredients in the food processor and blend until it reaches the consistency you desire

I mixed mine in with spaghetti squash and grilled vegetables and it was delicious!

Enjoy :)
