Cilantro Pesto

Cilantro is an essential flavor accent for both Latin and Asian foods, and our Cilantro pesto is right at home in both. It’s a bright green blend of cilantro, onions, garlic, lime juice, jalapeños and oil.

  • Add cream or other ingredients to create custom pasta sauces
  • Blend into coconut rice and other Asian rice dishes
  • Mix into salad dressings for a new flavor profile
  • Use as a dressing for grain bowls or cold pasta
  • Use as a finishing condiment for contemporary Asian- or Latin-inspired pizzas and flatbreads
  • Blend with olive oil and drizzle on soups, grilled foods, salads, bowls, sandwiches, flatbreads and more
