Stole a pesto my heart! OK, sorry (not sorry). All bad jokes and puns aside, I declare this to be the creamiest, dairy-free pesto I’ve ever tried. Why? Thanks to avocado, that miracle worker which takes the place of cheese and rocks it! I’ve been making basil, Romano cheese and walnut pesto for years; yet I never thought of adding avocado to the mix -until one fateful day… my NYC friend, Chef Carla, sent me a recipe from EatingWell. I’ve modified the proportions a bit; but the same idea holds: basil, avocado, walnuts, fresh lemon, garlic and pink sea salt. Oh, and a food processor!
