This pesto is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of basil and cilantro in my garden, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I'm so glad I did! The cilantro flavor is very subtle, and it really complements the other ingredients well.

I've tried many pesto recipes over the years, but this one is by far my favorite. The combination of basil, cilantro, and mint is perfect, and the toasted pine nuts add a nice nutty flavor.
