Avocado Peanut and Mint – Spread/dip/pesto
About:
Here in this recipe we are tossing peanuts instead of pine nuts in an Italian pesto and used avocado in place of cheese.
I am a huge fan of avocados, so tried to blend avocado in place of cream to add creamy texture to the pesto.
Traditionally pesto sauce with its combination is healthy addition to any diet. While rather high in calories and fat, pesto offers a wealth of nutrients and punch of flavour. When enjoyed in moderation, pesto can enhance your health and nutrient intake.
Yields: 1cup

Tzatziki dip: Dill, Mint and Cucumber yogurt dip
About:
We love this thick and creamy yogurt dip with fresh cucumber, lemon, dill and yogurt. It’s brightly flavored and is perfect to serve with roasted veggies, sandwiches, rice dishes and even on flat breads like Paratha.
If you’re in a pinch, you can totally enjoy the dip immediately after making. But, if you have the time let the yogurt dip sit covered in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. The flavors will become much more developed.
Yields- 3-4 servings
Preparation time-15 minutes
