Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large avocado
  • 1/4 block of soft tofu
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 lemon juiced plus the zest
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 cup packed basil

Equipment

  • Food processor

Method
 

  1. 1. Add the avocado, tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon, garlic and salt to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add in the basil and blend again til you get the consistency you like. Serve with raw zucchini noodles, as a dip or dressing, or on a cold pasta salad.

Notes

You can omit the tofu if you don't want to use it and it wont effect the taste, just add an additional 1/4 cup water to blend. 
I like to pulse in the basil at the end so theres still some small pieces of basil and not blend it completely smooth.
