GREEN ON GREEN CILANTRO PESTO PASTA SALAD

Green on Green Cilantro Pesto Pasta Salad image

My boyfriend and I were brainstorming what would make a great summer salad and the idea for a cilantro pesto with all green vegetables came to mind. It was a joint effort coming up with the concept. It's fun and yummy too. I am lactose intolerant so I omitted the cheese, but that would increase the flavor for sure if added. Also substituting any pasta, grain, or rice would be great too. The sauce too can be interchangeable with all types of sandwiches, pizza, etc.

Combine cilantro, oil, pistachios, lime zest and juice, garlic and 3/4 t salt in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. (This can be made ahead and stored in the fridge but bring to room temperature before serving. If you want to make just the pesto, you may want to add more oil to the mixture because this made a very thick pesto.)
Preheat the grill to medium high. Grill poblanos, turning occasionally, until well charred and tender, about 14-16 minutes.
Brush each onion wedge with oil and grill until tender and has some grill marks, about 8 minutes.
