This is one of the two choices of pestos that come with Soylent Green at Laughing Planet. Tastes same as theirs. Only change I would make is half the salt, cuz it was much saltier than I remembered. I'd have no problem with a bit more cilantro either :) Serve this pesto w/ steamed broccoli, chard, carrots and any other greens on mixed wild and brown rice or anything you like. Thanks much for posting StargazerMG! Awesomeness!
