    Coriander (cilantro) and cashew pesto makes a nice change from the traditional basil and pine nut pesto.

    This coriander pesto can be used to flavor soups (such as my carrot and coriander soup), as a dip for fresh veggies, on bruschetta, in a stir fry, as a dressing for some beautiful roast vegetables, or tossed with your favorite pasta.
