Creamy Basil Pesto
Prep Time: 6 minutes
Servings: 5-6
This is hands down my favorite sauce! I use it on just about any savory food to amplify the flavor and increase the health benefits.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh basil (about 1 ounce)
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1-4 garlic cloves (or garlic powder to taste)
- ½ cup walnuts
- ½ cup freshly grated grassfed Parmesan cheese
- 1 large avocado (or 2 small)
- Salt, pepper, and fresh squeezed lemon to taste
Directions
- Place all the ingredients except the avocado in a food processor and mix well.
- Add the avocado and continue mixing until just combined.
- Store in an airtight container with a thin layer of olive oil on top of the pesto to preserve freshness.
