Cilantro Pesto Recipe

Recipe By Oh Sweet Basil

One of our most popular recipes on the blog is our classic pesto (gotta love that a basil recipe is ranked so high for us, bahahaha) and how to store it. Its easy, fresh and i really do think it is the absolute best recipe out there for pesto. We love it on pastas, in meatball paninis and even a quinoa bake with asparagus So clearly it would be smart of us to play around with the flavors which is how we ended up with cilantro pesto.
