For the love of Cilantro Dip......

Well you guys already know I love love love cilantro.... so here is another great recipe I put this on everything!!


You can use this as a dip, sauce to put on tacos, fish, chicken; I even will put a little milk into it and pour on a salad as a dressing. I use either fat-free or light sour cream too, so no guilt and it is so healthy and yummy.

Wash and cut the stems off the cilantro. Add a few cloves of garlic to taste, into a food processor or chop by hand.

You can also add salt and pepper, ( I like to keep a low salt kitchen.)







It will look like this once chopped. I like it a little chuncky.

I add it right into the sour cream container and mix. Best if you let it stand in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to blend. Stir again before serving.

**You can also skip this part and add right to the sour cream if you have any of the Garlic Cilantro Pesto. Just add as much as you like and stir(see recipe).**










This will keep in the fridge for at least 2 weeks or the expiration date on the sour cream; whichever comes first.

Garlic Cilantro Pesto

On our last trip to Costa Rica over lunch with a friend, the,waiter brought this over to  the table as a topping for our steak and it was delicious.  This is my version of what I tasted.

I love love love cilantro! I am always looking for new uses for it. I hate buying a bunch and have any to go to waste.


Here is a great "easy breezy" recipe for a pesto or aioli.


It is great on steaks, chicken, fish I also use it as my base to make my garlic cilantro dip (see recipe), you can even put it on a pasta and toss like a traditional pesto.

The ninja chopper  product review coming soon) makes this a 5 min process! So healthy and flavorful.

Wash and cut the stems off the cilantro, put a bunch of cilantro in the food processor or you can chop by hand if you prefer, and add a few cloves of garlic as desired and 1/2 cup of olive oil and chop.

Chop to desired consistency. I like it a little chunky.

Put in a plastic storage container and this will last at least a good week.

                          Enjoy!
