AIP Friendly Ginger Cilantro Lime Pesto

Bright, herbaceous, and punchy with citrus, this blended green sauce is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more alive. Two full cups of fresh cilantro carry the base, with flat-leaf parsley adding a clean, grassy depth that rounds out the flavor beautifully. A double hit of lime — both juice and zest — keeps things vivid, while garlic and ginger bring just enough warmth to make it interesting. Traditional pesto relies on nuts and cheese, both of which are off the table during the elimination phase of the autoimmune protocol, but this version skips them entirely without sacrificing any of the richness — that comes from a slow stream of good extra-virgin olive oil blended right in. The whole thing comes together in a food processor in minutes and makes six servings, so you'll have plenty to drizzle over roasted vegetables, spoon onto grilled proteins, or stir into cauliflower rice throughout the week. Keep a jar in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
