About Cilantro pesto

Cilantro pesto is a vibrant twist on traditional pesto, combining fresh cilantro leaves with garlic, olive oil, nuts (often almonds, walnuts, or pine nuts), lime juice, and Parmesan cheese for a bright, zesty flavor. Originating from a fusion of Mexican and Mediterranean cuisines, this green sauce adds a unique, herbaceous flair to dishes like pasta, grilled meats, or tacos. With its nutrient-packed ingredients, cilantro pesto offers health benefits such as antioxidants from cilantro and heart-healthy fats from olive oil and nuts. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the oil, cheese, and nuts, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring fat or calorie intake. A great source of vitamins A and C, it also provides essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. Cilantro pesto is a fresh, versatile condiment that brings both flavor and nutritional perks to your plate.
