Cilantro and Walnut Pesto

Cilantro is an amazingly delicious and versatile herb! It has amazing benefits to your health ranging from antifungal properties to chelating properties. Which is why I try to incorporate it into my diet in as many applications as possible! For more on the health benefits of cilantro, read my Profile on Herbs: Cilantro.

This Cilantro and Walnut Pesto is one of my favorite ways to eat cilantro. You can use it to top absolutely ANY piece of grilled meat, or as a tofu topper (if your into tofu). You can eat it as a dip with some bell pepper slices and cucumber chips. It's an awesome addition to taco night! The possibilites are endless.
