Easy Delicious Avocado Cashew Pesto

So at this point I’m going to make a confession – one of my biggest, deepest, darkest secrets. I don’t really like avocados.

I know, I know – what kind of person am I?? I mean, I was born and raised in Southern California and everything. Maybe all the later years in Colorado changed me- because I just don’t love avocados.

I’m fine with them *in* food though – and I know how good avocados are for a balanced diet full of omega 3 fatty acids. This pesto is SO full of flavor… both avocado freaks and avocado-phobes will LOVE it!

Yum- my favorite summer pesto! This creamy avocado pesto is SOOO good
