How to Make Zesty Cilantro & Marcona Almond Pesto

1. Combine Initial Ingredients

Start by combining the cilantro, jalapeño, almonds, garlic, salt, and lemon zest in a food processor. Aim for a coarse purée at this stage.

2. Add Olive Oil

With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil. Continue processing until the pesto reaches your desired consistency.

3. Transfer and Store

Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent it from oxidizing. Refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
