I like to say that my favorite food is the food that’s in front of me. Who could pick when there are so many jaw dropper recipes out there?! Having 90 favorite things is beautiful, not annoying! I digress, this looks amazing, and I want to put it on everything. Thanks for sharing!

Don't worry about it.  I ate the entire batch in less than 24 hours by myself.  Try it on a feta omelette!  Less than 8 hours after finishing, I'm off to buy pistachios.  Walnuts were great, tho. I have second batch in the blender.

Just wanted to update this for all the other cilantro-haters out there  to say I made it with just parsley and it's still AMAZING.  YUM!

Thank you pinch of yum! Great inspiration. I worked with what I had at home...

I added some basil in addition to the cilantro and flat parsley.

I used 1/2 roasted pistachios and 1/2 raw cashews.

Extra lime, extra jalapeno, and some extra hot red mushroom pepper. 

It was bitter but I think was too liberal with stems from the herbs.  Added some extra salt and a dash of agave, and a splash of fresh lemon juice. 

YUM

Before you kick  cilantro to the curb think about the taste you are leaving behind. I do not like the smell of cilantro but once it is incorporated into a dish all that changes. I like it.

I am one of those people with the genetic marker but have discovered if I gently heat cilantro before adding it to a dish the soap taste disappears.  Worked great for this recipe. I topped some cornbread with Cuban black beans and drizzled this sauce on top... so good! Thanks for the great recipe!

thank you!!! just the info i was hoping to find !!  and the sauce was Perfectomundo with lentil quesadillas.

I bet it won't even be around one night, it's THAT good!

I've found that if I add some lemon juice in the mix (I like 1 lime + 1 lemon, 1.5 avocados, and the rest as listed), it stays nice and green much longer. I've only tested it up to a week, because I eat it all before long. :)

My family LOVES it, especially my husband! I've tried it as an alternative to pesto sauce with pasta and grilled chicken. It's delicious! It has become  a staple food in our home! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!

This is a fantastic recipe, thank you! How do you keep it from turning brown? Made it for a party and it was brown after a few hours. Can't imagine it will keep for long in the fridge.
