Rich and creamy avocado and cashew pesto is a solid easy topping for chicken, fish, steak, and in pasta salads!

At Avdaye, we add lots of tips in all of our recipes – because we are a home cook without any formal training, and we find we are more confident making dishes when we understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. Our goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

Good Avocado Cashew Pesto

So at this point we're going to make a confession – one of our biggest, deepest, darkest secrets. We don't like avocados.

We know, we know – what kind of person am we?? We mean, we were born and raised in Southern California and everything. Maybe all the later years in Colorado changed us- because we don't love avocados.

We're fine with them *in* food though – and we 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!
