Wheat Free Spinach & Avocado Pesto

Bright, creamy, and loaded with fresh green flavor, this avocado-and-spinach pesto is the kind of sauce that makes everything it touches taste better. Traditional pesto can sometimes hide wheat in store-bought versions through additives or cross-contaminated facilities, but this one is built entirely from whole, naturally grain-free ingredients — nothing processed, nothing suspicious. The avocado gives it a luxuriously silky body without any dairy, while fresh basil and baby spinach bring that classic herby punch you want in a good pesto. A hit of lemon juice keeps the flavors lively and helps slow the browning that avocado-based sauces are prone to, and the tip about pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface is a genuinely useful trick for keeping it vibrant in the fridge. A little fresh ginger is optional but adds a subtle warmth that makes the whole thing feel a bit more interesting. Toss it with your favorite gluten-free pasta, spread it on rice cakes, swirl it into grain bowls, or use it as a dipping sauce — it's endlessly versatile and comes together in one blender with almost no effort.
