Cilantro Chili-Lime Cashew Pesto image

A pesto with a little kick using a favorite snack I found at Trader Joe's -- Chili-Lime Cashews -- nummy! This pesto is great on pasta or with shrimp or fish. Brush on meat, chicken, or fish before grilling.

This pesto is delicious, but it's a bit too expensive to make regularly.

I found this pesto to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil next time.

This pesto is a bit spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This pesto is a great way to use up leftover cilantro. I always have a bunch of cilantro in my fridge, and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I really liked this pesto. The lime and chili flavors really balance out the cilantro.
