Evergreen Pesto
  1. Swap in some arugula, a hardier green that retains its color far longer than basil alone, and it's peppery, so it doesn't dilute piquancy.

  2. Add lemon juice—its ascorbic acid acts as a natural antioxidant, slowing the browning.

  3. Cover the surface with a thin layer of oil before storing to create a barrier between the pesto and oxygen.
