Cilantro Lime Pesto

    I made this pesto without cheese, so it's vegan and paleo! Whether you're adding it to the risotto or mixing it with pasta, adding it on top of grilled chicken or steak, or putting a dollop on your morning eggs, you're going to love this flavorful Mexican spin on pesto! Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh cilantro leaves
• 6 cloves garlic
• 1 cup sliced almonds
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¾ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice
• ½ cup water

Add the cilantro, garlic, almonds and pepper to a food processor, or blender. Blend for 15-20 seconds. Pour the olive oil into the food processor while blending, another 15-20 seconds. Add the lime juice and water, continue blending for 5-10 seconds, or until all ingredients are incorporated. If you like a little spice, toss a chopped jalapeño in there for a kick!   Vegetarian Option: This recipe is vegetarian (and vegan!) Gluten Free Option: This recipe is gluten-free.
