Pepita Cilantro Pesto is a vibrant twist on traditional pesto, blending the nutty richness of toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) with the fresh, citrusy punch of cilantro. Originating as a variation inspired by Latin American flavors, this pesto swaps classic pine nuts and basil for ingredients that celebrate the region’s culinary roots. Brightened with lime juice, garlic, olive oil, and a touch of jalapeño for heat, it delivers a bold and zesty profile. Packed with healthy fats from the pepitas and olive oil, it provides a good source of magnesium, antioxidants, and vitamin E. Cilantro adds detoxifying properties and supports digestion. While nutritious, the pesto is calorie-dense due to the oils and seeds, so portion control is key. Perfect as a dip, marinade, or topping, Pepita Cilantro Pesto brings a healthy, flavorful flair to any dish it accompanies.
