Avocado pesto
I decided to try making a pesto from avocado, a fruit with such a tempting look, when I first saw it on a picture. It looked so delicious, I couldn't resist and had to try it right away. I would like to say, that a great inspiration for this amazing dish was the webpage of Mrs. Marie (www.jajsem.com), a lady that has been a great source of motivation for me and Radek and not only in the area of the diet. I would like to thank her with this. She maintains the diet of raw food, to which we are slowly inching towards as well.
You can spread this pesto on savory pastry - almond bread, savory pie (new recipes for savory pastries will be added later), but you can also have it with spaghetti made from cucumber or zucchini (you can make these easily with the help of a spiralizer), you get the perfect raw food - unfortunately I don't have one yet so I had to make do with a kitchen knife. The combination of fruit and vegetable is an "ignition mix" on your path to healing. Lemon and other less sweet fruits - avocado, cucumber, and tomatoes - with salad, will flood you with vitamins, minerals, acids and oils, that you would lose out on completely if you were to prepare them the "regular" way.
Ingredients
- avocado - 2
- lemon - 2 (170g)

Instructions
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
Result: 3/4 liters
Pressed lemon juice is poured into a mixer, add salt, honey, garlic, parsley and blend. Gradually add and blend the lettuce. Finally add the sliced ripe avocado and blend once more. The resulting mass was a bit too rough in my blender so I used a stick blender and a mixing dish to add a finish touches, blend it some more, until it was nice and soft. Cut the cucumber (or use the spiralizer to make the spaghetti) and mix it with the pesto.
