Cilantro Pesto

Recipes

Fresh cilantro whipped up into pesto using sliced almonds, parmesan, garlic and lemon juice - great for stirring into pasta, topping over fish or chicken or combining with cottage cheese for a wonderful, healthy dip.

If there was ever an award for the most pesto-loving family, it would be at our house – spinach pesto, parsley pesto, basil pesto.. we just love pesto.

The best part about pesto is that you can make it in a matter of minutes, and the second is that you can use up a bunch of greens faster than it would take you to make anything else. It’s versatile – you can top it on salmon, stir it into pasta, and combine with cottage cheese and make a chip dip.

One of the best things about Cilantro, is that it’s only a buck at the farmers market – which means that you can whip up pesto for an incredible price. Toss in lightly toasted almonds to compliment the flavor of your pesto, a little parmesan cheese, some garlic and then drizzle in the oil as you puree it together.
