Ingredients
- 4 slices grain-free bread
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup raw pine nuts
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the pesto. In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, raw pine nuts, peeled garlic cloves, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and lemon juice.
Step 2
Pulse a few times until the mixture starts to combine and break down.
Step 3
As the processor is running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream, processing until the pesto becomes a smooth paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times during processing.
Step 4
Taste the pesto and adjust seasoning with more salt or more lemon juice if needed. Once done, set aside.
Step 5
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado to your preferred consistency.
Step 6
Toast the grain-free bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
Step 7
Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of the freshly made pesto on each slice.
Step 8
Top each slice with a layer of mashed avocado, followed by a few halved cherry tomatoes.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Pesto Toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp.
