Avocado And Spinach Pesto Recipes

AVOCADO AND SPINACH PESTO

Avocado and Spinach Pesto image

This is a version of Giada's Avocado and Arugala pesto that I used when I didn't have all of the ingredients on hand. It tastes really rich and creamy so it's hard to believe that it's good for you! I added chicken to it but it would be great with shrimp too.
