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 5 minute pesto with avocado, basil and orange, recipe is our latest addiction, we used it as a sandwich filling, it adds tons of flavours. You can also spread on toasts and mix it in pasta too.
