Recipe Notes

Bonus Recipe (yay!)

Here’s another idea to use up your pesto –

Slice an avocado. Toss it with lemon juice, cumin powder, cilantro, a pinch of chili powder or Sriracha or Cholula or any hot sauce of your choice, salt and pepper. Lay the slices on toasted bread.

Slather the sun dried tomato pesto on another slice of toasted bread and slap it on the avocado bread. And Hey Pesto! (pun intended), you have a sandwich that other sandwiches can only aspire to be. Enjoy!
