Vegan Cilantro Pesto

Who doesn’t love a yummy pesto? For a fun, summery twist on the classic Italian sauce, I opt for cilantro instead of traditional basil as my base ingredient. This vegan recipe is full of lime, nuts and seasonal spices. Prefer it creamy? Simply add 1/2 an avocado to the mix. You’ll need a food processor and less than 10 minutes to make this delicious & healthy Cilantro Pesto.
