Walnut Cilantro Pesto is a vibrant, nutrient-packed sauce inspired by global culinary traditions, blending zesty cilantro with the rich earthiness of walnuts. Commonly associated with Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine, this pesto is a flavorful twist on the classic basil variety. Its primary ingredients include fresh cilantro, walnuts, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and optionally, a hint of chili for added heat. Walnuts provide heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, while cilantro offers vitamins A, C, and K, supporting immune health and digestion. Olive oil adds monounsaturated fats beneficial for cardiovascular health. The pesto is naturally gluten-free and suitable for plant-based diets, though its calorie content can be moderate due to the nuts and oil. It's a versatile condiment for pastas, grilled proteins, or vegetables, offering a zesty and wholesome alternative to heavier, cream-based sauces.
