Not only orange juice provides a refreshing citrusy flavour to this pesto but keeps avocados from turning brown because the citric acid from the orange juice slows down the oxidation.

I wanted to prepare this pesto recipe was worried that it won’t stay fresh, but then I remembered my Avocado Dill Cream which I prepared with Orange Juice.

We love to binge on Avocados, whatever the weather or any mealtime. Avocado is an all-rounder ingredient that you can. almost whip up anything with it.

During cooler days Warm Stuffed Avocado or Avocado and Fenugreek Paratha make an excellent lunch when we crave for something hot and tasty.

Healthy and refreshing Avocado salads are always a hit in my house such as Avocado, Black Beans and Tortilla Salad , Avocado and Strawberry salad with Honey Vinaigrette.

This looks so refreshing and smooth. My son is an avocado fan and makes a mean guacamole. I must show him your pesto recipe. Adding orange juice to it to keep it going brown is a good tip.
