Linda’s Cilantro Spread

  • 1 cup crunchy almond butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup or more grated coconut
  • 1/2 can of coconut milk (the 5.5 fl. oz. can)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/16 tsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbps rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbps fresh lemon juice
  • 2 bunches of cilantro
(just cut off the very bottom of the stems and then wash.the rest – it will look like A LOT of cilantro. Put handfuls of stems and leaves into the food processor.a little at a time until gone)
refrigerate the mixture a few hours so it hardens enough to make a thicker spread
Serve on whole wheat bread. with butter, mayonnaise, and swiss cheese.
