Glow from within with this nutrient-packed Green Goddess Spinach Pesto: it can be made in under 5 minutes and goes well with just about everything: pasta, of course, but also rice, zoodles, potatoes, soups, and it’s also perfect in sandwiches for picnic season!
Peel and pit the avocado, then place it in a food processor along with the spinach and basil leaves, garlic (if using), lemon juice and pepper.
Turn on the machine and blend for 20/40 seconds. Scrape down the sides and blend for 40 more seconds or until you reach the desired consistency (also depending on your food processor).
Transfer to your container, sprinkle some nutritional yeast on top and serve with pasta, rices, vegetables, zoodles or spread on some lightly toasted bread for a yummy sandwich. It's also a perfect dip!
