A unique take on a classic - cilantro pesto - adds a great unexpected flavor to chicken, pork or rice and beans. Great without cheese, but nothing like it with a hearty serving of grated parmesan over pasta or grilled veggies!

  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, washed and de-stemmed
  • 1/3 cup pistachios
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 cup Salute Santé! Cold-Pressed Grapeseed Oil.
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/3 grated parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

  1. Wash the cilantro.
  2. Separate the cilantro leaves and soft stems from stronger stems.
  3. Set aside to dry on a towel.
  4. Combine the pistachios, garlic, grapeseed oil, salt and pepper in blender.
  5. Blend until combined.
  6. Add the cilantro leaves.
  7. Blend until well blended to desired thickness.
