Servings 2
Ingredients
- 2 Avocados
- 1/3 Cup Vegan Pesto
- 1/4 Cup Finely chopped Spinach
- 1/2 Lemon juiced
- 1/4 Tsp Salt or more to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- Red Pepper Flakes to taste
Instructions
- Start by pitting your avocados and scooping out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Add in the pesto, then mash the avocado and pesto together. I recommend leaving a few chunks of avocado in, but you can mash it as smooth or as chunky as you like.
- Stir in the chopped spinach.
- Squeeze the lemon juice (fresh only!) into the mixture, and sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Taste, and adjust if needed.
- Serve avocado spread with toast or chips. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- For this recipe I recommend my Best Vegan Kale Pesto! But any homemade or store-bought pesto will do just fine. Be sure to adjust the salt accordingly!
- To amp up the basil flavor, feel free to add freshly chopped basil.
- If the avocado pesto spread is over-salted, trying adding in a little more lemon juice or spinach.
- If the spread tastes "flat", try adding a bit more salt and lemon juice.
