Now, avo lovers! I’ve had avo in so many ways: chocolate mousse, guacamole, dressings, salads etc, now why did I not think of making pesto out of it until now???

You will need a spiralizer and a food processor to make this. When I made this, I prepared the zoodles and baked my chicken and tomatoes earlier in the day so it was easier to throw together for dinner. Let’s get cooking!
