Notes

For a hint of tropical flavor, swap olive oil for coconut oil.
If using salted pistachios, omit the extra salt.
Store the pistachio paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Stir before each use, as the oils may separate over time.
Great for spreading on toast, swirling into yogurt, or incorporating into baked goods.
