TOMATO & AVOCADO BASIL PESTO PEARL COUSCOUS SALAD!🌿🥗🍅 It is finally feeling like Spring and I made my favorite couscous salad this weekend. I changed up the pesto recipe to include silky, creamy avocados. 🥑🥑🥑Grab + save the recipe deets below👇🏼

Creamy Avocado Basil Pesto
1 large bunch of fresh basil ~2 packed cups
2 ripe avocados (if smaller avocados, use 3)
1/3 cup hemp hearts
handful of raw walnuts or almonds
3 garlic cloves
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt and pepper to taste

For the pesto, remove basil leaves from stems. Make sure you don’t process the stems. Throw everything into your food processor, except for the extra virgin olive oil. This one comes in at the end. Pulse until finely chopped and then add the oil gradually through the hole at the top of the processor. When it’s a smooth paste- it’s ready.

Couscous Ingredients
I used 2 cups of Pearl Couscous
No broth? Simply boil it in salted water with 1 Tbsp of olive oil or garlic ghee to keep it from clumping. You only need ~4 Tbsp of pesto for this amount of couscous, unless you want to lay it on thick, which is totally fine too!🙃

You also need:
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup sheep’s milk feta, tastes better than goat feta
1 Tbsp of fresh pesto to garnish
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon, optional!

I am obsessed with this little salad. Easy, but feels fancy. Everyone will love the texture and fresh flavors! 🙃🙌🏼💣
