Light Oil With a Citrus Twist

Mexican citrus avocado oils from Gourmet Pacifica have a wonderful fruity flavor, making them ideal for adding to vinaigrettes and marinades, for bread dipping or for baking. Because the smoking point of avocado oil is high (500 degrees), it’s also good for frying and grilling. The oils also are high in the “good” fat (monounsaturated) and low in the “bad” fat (saturated).

Blood orange-, lemon-and key lime-infused avocado oils, 7-ounce bottle, $17.95 each from Sur La Table stores in Pasadena, Santa Monica, Thousand Oaks and Newport Beach or https://www.surlatable.com.
