So delicious!! Im definitely coming back to this recipe. I used all spinach for the greens and substituted radishes for the cucumber. Added a bit of smoked salt too. If you freeze it right away, it will last much longer and keep the bright green. I put half in the refrigerator and while it did brown a bit on top, it still kept fine for a couple days.

In reply to Bev. Yes, you can leave the avocado out at first and freeze it or refrigerate it. Then, add the avocado just before serving. Enjoy!

this sounds great. I am going to try with dried oregano. I got some from local health store dried from fresh still on stalks. It smells delicious. Also we love garlicfor its flavour and medicinal virtues. We get it bulk on stalks so I’ll be using at least the 3 you suggest. If I leave off adding the avocado till its to be served, would that add to the time it lasts?

In reply to Barbara R Spreen. Yes, it is good for up to 3 months, except leave the avocado out. Don't add avocado if you are going to freeze it

Hi Kami, This pesto recipe looks and sounds really good! Just wondering about making the pesto with the cucumber and all the other ingredients, except the avocado, then freezing the pesto, or at least storing it for a longer period of time, in the refrigerator? The avocado (either whole or part) could then be mashed and the pesto added at a later time? I’m thinking in terms of making a smaller amount, as needed. (I may be the only one in my family to eat the avocado-oregano pesto, and would not want to toss it.) Thank you!
