CILANTRO-LEMON PESTO

A zesty twist to traditional pesto - This is an a great sauce to slather over a filet of salmon before baking, or to use for topping seafood with after cooking, tossing with pasta or rice, or pouring over steamed vegetables. It keeps its vivid green color, unlike basil pesto which tends to turn brownish.

  • Combine ingredients in food processor.
  • Puree until ingredients are fully combined and the pesto has a smooth texture with no significant lumps (may still be just a little gritty). You may add additional olive oil if you like.
  • May be served hot or at room temperature. Leftovers can be frozen in small tupperware containers or ice cube trays and thawed when you're ready to use.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the cilantro pesto: Add the cilantro, pine nuts, Parmesan, lemon juice and garlic to a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are roughly chopped, 4 to 5 times. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the oil through the lid opening. Process to desired consistency; you can make the sauce completely smooth or leave it fairly chunky.
  • For the roasted tomatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add the tomatoes and shallot. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes start to break down and brown slightly, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • For the salad: In a large bowl, combine the pasta, chicken, tomatoes and pesto and toss. Garnish with shaved Parmesan and a few cilantro leaves and serve.

2 cups tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
1 cup olive oil
2 cups grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 shallot, thinly sliced
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups cooked rotini pasta, cooled
4 cooked chicken breasts (we used grilled), cooled and cut into cubes
Parmesan shavings, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
