This was excellent ! I doubled the garlic because my DH loves double the garlic in ANY thing. I processed it first for about 30 seconds. I washed the cilantro and put it through the salad spinner, blotted with paper towels and added to the garic and processed them together for another 30 seconds and then I added all the other ingredients except salt. We are putting this one in the Faves book. Thanks !
