Cilantro and Lime Pesto (Vegetarian / Vegan)



Ingredients

1 Cup of Firmly Packed Cilantro

2 limes 

1/4 cup of Almonds Toasted

3 Cloves of Garlic

1/4 cup of Olive Oil

1/4 tsp cumin

Instructions

Wash Cilantro thoroughly using a good Vegetable wash  make sure to also rinse well to remove any residue.

Remove the the woody stems keeping only the leaves with as little stem as possible.  At this point I like to put my cilantro in a salad spinner

Toast almonds in a dry pan on your stove top, shaking often to prevent burning.  Remove just when they start to brown.


Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until blended with a little bit of texture.

Garnish with a few slices of Almonds and serve
