Instructions

Step 1

Put all ingredients (except water) into mixer or blender.

Step 2

Mix everything together and start pouring the water into the mixture until reaching the desired consistency. You don’t have to include the amount recommended and can obviously add more if you want a more fluid result.

Step 3

And the pesto is ready – yes, it is THAT simple! Prepare your favorite pasta and serve it with the pesto you just made (use whole wheat for a healthier option).

• The choice of nuts for the recipe will depend on your personal taste. The traditional pesto recipe is made with pine nuts, but it can get expensive if you make pesto on a regular basis like me!

• As for the nuts, you can replace basil with spinach, rocket or any other greens you fancy

• If you don’t mind using oil, don’t hesitate to add olive oil to the mixture to bring a Mediterranean touch to it

• You can keep your avocado pesto in the fridge for about 3 days. It will probably go darker because of the avocado but will still taste fine. Otherwise, it also freezes very well!
