Great refreshing recipe to give pesto a changeover. I don’t add garlic because I feel like it doesn’t belong in this recipe. I use avocado oil instead of olive oil and increase salt due to personal preference. I love the creaminess. Spread on all kinds of things. I used as a pizza base and it was delicious. Also froze leftovers.
