By request: Pesto!

Requested by my little sis, a delicious cheese free pesto!

Ingredients:

• An avocado

  

  This was the biggest avocado I had ever encountered. I ate it whole, otherwise it would have been great for pesto!

• A LOT OF BASIL! I typically buy two of the hydroponically grown basils or two of Wegman's basil clamshells. 

  

  At least twice this much basil!

• Garlic

  

  At least this many cloves of garlic

• Olive oil
• Salt
• Optional: pine nuts (which I'm generally too cheap to buy) or walnuts (which can be )

Directions

1. Peel & chop the garlic. 

2. Blend peeled avocado, garlic, and basil with some water and olive oil until is at an ideal consistency. Add salt. Optional: also blend in pine nuts.

3. Optional: when serving, sprinkle walnuts on top of dish.
