Guacamole Pesto
Thinking about a fresh summer spread ? Guacamole with a bit of lemon ? Or the fresh basil inspires you to make a pesto ? What if we can have both in one interesting spread ? Too many questions :). Let’s try a guacamole pesto …
How I made it - Very Simple
I made the pesto by blending the pine seeds, the olive oil, the lemon juice, the parmesan and the basil at low speed. You can use the classic “mortar and pestle” method if you like it and you have the tools :)
I crushed the avocado with a fork, added a short lemon squeeze over and seasoned it with salt and pepper, then I combined it with the pesto in a medium bowl and and mixed them well with a wood spoon until I got a creamy texture.
