Avocado dip with basil

This avocado dip with basil is a bit like guacamole pesto. It tastes very fresh and zingy but it's not spicy at all, so kids can enjoy it too. Ideal for parties or as an appetizer all year round. Serve it as topping on crostini/blini or as a dip with tortilla chips, toasted pita or bread sticks.
