Cilantro Pesto

I am on a never ending quest to find simple yet delicious summer friendly recipe. I do believe the cilantro pesto fits right in, especially paired with pre-made Costco chicken ravioli. Not only is this pesto easy, it also makes a tons for you to freeze! The pesto is very light and fresh tasting, and the cilantro adds a flavorful bite that traditional basil pesto lacks. You can use the cilantro pesto on ravioli or any pasta, use it to make crostini's, put it on pizza or even mix it with your eggs!
