Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado, and stir in the prepared basil pesto and lime juice. Leave it as chunky or smooth as you prefer. Add a pinch of salt and a bit of black pepper.

Recipe Notes

Try grilling your veggies if you like a softer cooked veggie. The avocado pesto is fantastic on a BLT sandwich too!
