Yum!! I must try this. Any good substitutions for people who avoid oil?

[RAWlike100]

@ZennLa13 Yes, you can add cashew nut butter, macadamia nut butter, or tahini to make it a little more liquid or you can just keep it as crumbles.  The oil (or if you add nut butters) is just to make it more spreadable... but not an integral part for flavor. The combination of the garlic, lemon, and cilantro with the nuts alone is so delicious. Have fun and experiment, experiment, experiment!!! (FYI - Almond butter is NOT good as a nut butter to add - it's too sweet/aromatic)

@RAWlike100 great, thanks!! I actually made this today. I think i put a bit too much cilantro. Also I added some cayenne pepper. It was really tasty.

This looks fantastic. I love me some Pesto!!! And another great Smiths shirt... where can I get one?

@rawrebrev I got this shirt in New York years ago - it is treasured to me. So hard to find any old "Smiths" clothing.... (I wish I would have kept my old shirts from High School... arghhh..)
