Homemade Basil Cilantro Pesto
This simple pesto recipe serves great as a dipping or pizza sauce. So fresh, delicious, and healthy.
INGREDIENTS:
Fresh Basil - approximately 1.5 Cups
Fresh Cilantro- approximately 1 Cup
Raw Nuts- 1/2 cup (pine nuts, almond slivers and/or sunflower seeds are my favorite)
Organic Virgin Olive Oil - 1/2 -3/4 cup (if you prefer a lighter pesto you may want to add slightly more olive oil)
Hot Peppers (optional...I like it spicy) - 1-3 pepper to taste
Fresh Garlic or Garlic Powder- 1-2 Tablespoons
Natural Salt - 1/4 Teaspoon
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add all ingredients to your blender (Vitamix) or food processor and pulse until mixture reaches desired texture.
Serve & enjoy!
