Using Trader Joe's Lemon Pesto Sauce on avocado toast

This bold and bright sauce packs a punch, so it's best when used sparingly on your avocado toast. One TikTok user mentions, "Honest feedback: I used too much lemon pesto. The flavor is very bright and strong, so next time I would use just a thin layer." You can also try tempering the tartness with a generous shake of crushed red chili flakes.

Take a cue from a sourdough avocado toast recipe and accent your toast with asparagus spears, a poached egg, rocket leaves, and savory seasonings, all of which would play well with the flavors of Trader Joe's lemon pesto. Spread the sauce on your toast either in lieu of or addition to the butter before proceeding to stack the ingredients on top. There's a lot of room for culinary creativity with this Trader Joe's find.

Fans on Reddit praise the sauce's versatility in a number of different dishes. One user shares, "Just on some plain tiny ditalini pasta is my favorite way to eat it!" Another notes, "this is great with the tomato and burrata ravioli." Several also recommend using it in baked chicken dishes. For a tangy avocado toast and so much more, this is one limited-time Trader Joe's find you'll want to snag before it's gone again.
