Simple and delicious. Minimal ingredients for a quick week night meal or a informal dinner party. I wouldn't change a thing, except for making more pesto!

My very picky daughter who can't boil water fixed this with me last night and it was a hit!! We will fix this again and again. I did tweek as I always do by changing to sesame oil and adding garlic (everything should have garlic) but she is adding this to her "I can cook this" list. Beats Ramen at college!! Thanks!!

Very good. The cilantro pesto almost tasted like a Japanese seaweed salad. We used tamari and kept the cilantro stems.

I used tamari instead of low-sodium soy sauce, and had to add more lime juice to overcome the saltiness. Also, removing the stems from the cilantro was time-consuming; next time, I wouldn't be so compulsive about it.

WOW!! This was Yummy Goodness!! My hubby and I made this two days in a row. Since it was low in cal & fat, we made tacos out of it with corn tortillas and a touch of sour cream, added some sauteed peppers!! Our new favorite dinner!!
