Creamy Pesto! 🌿
Hands down my favorite sauce I use on just about any savory food to amplify the flavor and enhance the health benefits!
This recipe is packed full of healthy monounsaturated fats which have been shown to reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, & lower your risk for various chronic diseases.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh basil (about 1 ounce)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1-3 garlic cloves (or garlic powder to taste)
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 large avocado (or 2 small)
Salt/pepper to taste
1/2 freshly squeezed lemon (or 1 lime)
Super simple. Just combine all the ingredients and blend up in a food processor.
I've been making this pesto dairy free by substituting the parmesan cheese with cashews and find it's tastes pretty darn similar 👍🏼
