Heathy Avocado Pesto Dip (Vegan)

I am a huge fan of avocados.  So I made some avocado pesto dip.  In my opinion, avocados make everything better.

Avocados are great on their own, in salads or smoothies.  This avocado pesto is fantastic.  It is oil free and dairy free.

I loved this healthy vegan pesto dip as a dip, but I could also see it being used as a sauce or maybe in a wrap as well. 🙂

If you are worried about the avocado browning, you can always squeeze a small amount of lemon juice onto it.  I ate it for a second time today and it tasted great even though it had browned a little.

Recipe Notes

In case you were wondering, nutritional yeast is different from bread yeasts. It adds a nutty and cheesy flavor. If you don't want to use it, you can omit it, but I suggest adding a 1/4 nuts instead. Enjoy!

  1. This looks so yummy! I might try the lazy method and blend an avocado with the pesto already in my freezer. Might work? :)
  2. I made this today and it was so good I had to stop myself from eating the entire bowl :) I did squirt some lemon juice in it because I need it to last until Friday when I use it as a pasta sauce!
