Day 96 - Basil-Cilantro Pesto

Basil-Cilantro Pesto 

I thought it would be nice to replace the memory of another recent pesto with this one....

And what a great idea! This is a much more familiar and happy-making pesto for me. The addition of cilantro is nice. (As long as you're not one of those people who taste soap when they eat cilantro - I'm not.) And the substitution of almonds in place of pine nuts is completely successful. I went easy on the fresh garlic - one large clove. I think the lemon juice here accomplishes what the parmesan covers in regular pesto - a little bit of zing. 

This pesto is nice and bright and yummy! Now, what am I going to put it on....
