Cilantro Pesto Recipes

This dairy-free pesto comes from a member who lives in the heart of cilantro country--northern California. You'll love it.

This is a great addition to add a bit of punch to a simple pureed soup. Use it sparingly and decoratively

This makes 12 tablespoon sized servings.

Cilantro has been proven to chelate toxic metals from our bodies in a relatively short period of time. Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients, this recipe is a powerful tissue cleanser.

Two teaspoons of this pesto daily for three weeks is purportedly enough to increase the urinary excretion of mercury, lead, and aluminum, thus effectively removing these toxic metals from our bodies.

The pesto is delicious on toast, baked potatoes, and pasta.

Put ingredients in food processor and mix.
