Creamy Cilantro Pesto Sauce image

A delicious creamy topping for chicken or fish. Can be served cold or hot. I personally prefer it cold on top of hot broiled lemon pepper mahi mahi with brown rice and steamed spinach. Garnish dish with cilantro leaves after topping with sauce.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try using less jalapeño next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. It was still tasty, but it was more like a salsa than a sauce.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover cilantro. I always have a bunch of cilantro in my fridge, and this sauce is a great way to use it up before it goes bad.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but this sauce is delicious! The cilantro flavor is very mild and it's perfectly balanced by the other ingredients.
