Yes, a good way to get a lot of cilantro in your diet is to eat it in a pesto. Which can be used with cheese and crackers. Here is my own personal favorite recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups of cilantro leaves
6 cloves cruched garlic
a handful of shelled sunflower seeds
a heaping handfull of Brazil nuts
2/3 cups olive or flax seed oil
3 tablespoons fresh healthy lemon juice
a bare pinch of salt
a quick dash of black pepper
Instructions:
Put both the cilantro and oil in a blender, slowly add the other ingredients. The Brazil nuts may be a bit of trouble, if so, you may want to beat them in a bag with a hammer before putting into the blender. Blend until the mixture becomes a fine paste. Store in small containers. You can use some right away, or in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze the remaining amount, and thaw for later use.
