Looking for a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pesto? This dairy-free broccoli and mint pesto is a wonderful choice, combining the vibrant flavors of broccoli, mint, and avocado with the rich nuttiness of almonds. Perfect for pasta, salads, or as a spread, this versatile recipe is easy to make and nutritionally beneficial.
- Blanch Broccoli: To achieve a vibrant green color and tender texture, blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes in boiling water, then immediately transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Toast Almonds: For a deeper, richer flavor, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until they are golden brown.
- Use Fresh Mint: Fresh spearmint leaves will provide the best flavor. Make sure the leaves are thoroughly washed and dried to avoid adding extra water to the pesto.
- Adjust Consistency: If the pesto is too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more olive oil or a splash of water. Blend until you reach your desired texture.
This dairy-free broccoli and mint pesto is a refreshing twist on a classic favorite. With its nutrient-rich ingredients and deliciously fresh taste, it's sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy it on pasta, as a dip, or even as a sandwich spread for a healthy and delightful meal option.
