Avocado pesto puts an extra silky twist on the classic pesto we all love! Toss it with pasta, spread it on sandwiches, or spoon it over grilled vegetables or chicken for an instant flavor boost. In a food processor blend together 1 cup of basil leaves, 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, 2 cloves fresh garlic, juice and zest of 1 small lemon (about 2 tablespoons), 1 ripe avocado, 4 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese until combined. Fresh, simple, and seriously delicious!
Looking for an amazing burger topping? These battered crispy onions are the answer! They add the perfect golden crunch to any burger. Pile them high for irresistible texture and that restaurant-style finish that takes your grilled burger from good to unforgettable. What special toppings are you putting on your burgers?
