I think I've caved in.
Cilantro & Lime are now my friends. My tasty new friends.
See, I used to be not able to handle cilantro. I had a bad experience.
But my tastebuds & stomach have adjusted over the last 7 years, and I am loving the combination of the two.
So I was sitting on my couch this afternoon, when I had the thought, "Why don't I make a pesto using Cilantro?" Bamm! What a great idea.
I decided to make a chilled Pasta Salad using my Cilantro Pesto. I was wanting a lite summerish dinner {although it is nowhere close to summer here in Utah}.
I had these cute little sweet peppers that I got last week, so I threw a couple on the grill to smoke them up. I also added some corn & extra pine nuts.
It was perfect.
And yes, I ate the whole plate that is picture above. It was that good.
If you would like to try it out, you can go here and print it off:
Enjoy!

I used to despise cilantro. Cilantro is awesome -- when used correctly! Too often, it's overused.
