Sure, basil pesto is a classic; but cilantro has become one of my favorite herbs. I know a lot of people hate cilantro, because I used to be one of them. After I started juicing and eating more clean, I actually started enjoying the taste of cilantro… And now, I actually crave it! I put it on everything- salads, wraps, eggs…

But this cilantro pesto recipe is a great way to use up fresh cilantro that’s on it’s way out, or to concentrate the flavor with some spicy raw garlic.

Enjoy!
