Nut-free Spinach and Avocado Pesto
Dips, dressings and sauces are one of my favorite toddler food items. For some little ones, they can be a great vehicle for new foods. One of our favorite dips/ sauces is pesto. Most store bought pestos contain nuts, which can be challenging for little ones with food allergies. We decided to try something new: a nut-free pesto made with spinach and avocado. Most of the members of our household are huge garlic fans, so this recipe was a big win for us. This is a great addition to a pasta, or just a dip for veggies and crackers. Enjoy!
