Basil-Cilantro Pesto

Excellent and kid-approved! I think I added a touch too much lemon juice because I just eyeballed the amount but otherwise the flavours were nicely balanced. I like that this recipe calls for a mix of my favourite herb cilantro along with basil and I was also able to use up some of the sliced almonds in my pantry. A definite make-again!

I'm always on the lookout for good pesto recipes that don't use the hated amazingly expensive pine nut. And this recipe does the trick. It uses almonds as the nut and it has a 2-1 basil-cilantro ratio that is just right.
