Creamy avocado pesto dresses this roasted summer vegetable pasta salad. Loaded with classic pesto ingredients like basil, garlic and parmesan cheese, the avocado makes it rich and smooth.
We are huge fans of classic basil pesto, but it can be so fun to play around with new flavor combinations. Sneaky kale pesto is one of our faves, as is pistachio mint pesto. We’ve even got a broccoli pesto recipe!
This avocado pesto is loaded with classic pesto flavors: basil, garlic, lemon, parmesan, and nuts. But it has a creamier texture, and is beautifully smooth and rich.
It’s perfect served on pasta, on zucchini noodles, as a condiment on pitas and sandwiches. It’s also fabulous used as a salad dressing for a summery pasta salad, which is what we’re doing today.
