Ingredients
- 4 wheat bagels, halved (I used Sprouted Wheat)
- 2 cups of fresh basil
- 1 1/4 cups of walnuts, toasted
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 40 small Spinach leaves
- 1 avocado, sliced thinly
- 16 small Grape tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 red onion, sliced thinly, in quarters
Instructions
- Toast bagel halves. Divide and set aside the spinach leaves, avocado slices, grape tomatoes slices, and red onion slices into 8 sections- each part goes for each bagel half.
- To make the basil pesto, combine the basil, toasted walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a food processor. While processing, slowly drizzle in 1 tsp olive oil.
- On each bagel half, spread basil pesto and layer with spinach leaves, avocado slices, sliced tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Enjoy!
