Cilantro Lime Pesto

I made this the other night to go with broiled cod and loved it. It’d be fantastic on fish tacos or even fish nachos. Last night I had it on boiled shrimp and was just as happy with it. I didn’t measure my ingredients exactly so the amount of oil may need to be adjusted. I usually stream it into the blender or food processor as I’m blending the ingredients until it reaches the consistency I like.

2 bunches of cilantro, stems removed
juice of 3 limes
1/2 cup blanched almonds
1/4 cup diced onion
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt

Combine all ingredients except olive oil in a blender or food processor. Puree in bursts, slowly adding oil until smooth. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.
