Lately I’ve been on a mission to find simple healthy meals, with a hint of gourmet pizzazz that take 20-30 minutes or less to prepare in the kitchen. I’ve always been about that quick and easy meal life, but in the past months I’ve also become more aware that just because the meal is quick and easy doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice the quality of flavors included. Below is the recipe for an incredible avocado pesto sauce that is bursting with flavor and versatile enough to use for multiple dishes including: as a sauce for pizza, a creamy and delicious pasta sauce that can be paired with spiralized zucchini noodles or kelp noodles (recipes coming soon), or a delightful base for avocado toast— you can spread it on thick! Anyone else out there about that quick and easy but gourmet life?
