Avocado Pesto

By: Maria



2 ripe avocado, diced
1 bunch fresh basil leaves
1 tblsp fresh chives, chopped
1 clove garlic
1/2 c pine nuts
2 tblsp lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Combine avocado, basil, chives, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper and oil, in a food processor until smooth.
This is delicious served over spaghetti squash (as shown below).


(I will sometimes add 1/4 c sun-dried tomatoes to the food processor for an amazing flavor!)
