The past few months, popcorn has been my go-to snack food at night. Brad and I regularly have it a couple times a week as we watch TV in the evenings. I decided to think about how to make this snack a bit more interesting and came up with this awesome combination of cilantro, lime, and Parmesan.

Enjoy a delicious popcorn snack with some fun and yummy toppings.

Recipe type: Snack
Ingredients
- 1 Bag Plain or lightly salted popcorn
- Chopped Cilantro
- Lime
- Shaved Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Pop the bag of popcorn
- Squeeze lime juice over the popped popcorn
- Chop the cilantro, sprinkle in with the popcorn
- Carefully mix in the parmesan cheese
For this recipe, I used Stella Cheese Shaved Parmesan. I like how the shaved pieces are larger than if I had used shredded cheese because I can get a substantial flavor of the Parmesan along with the cilantro, lime, and salted popcorn. This definitely makes popcorn more gourmet than what comes straight out of the bag!
This popcorn would be a fun party snack, it is easy to grab a handful and get all the flavors; and super easy to make.
Have you tried making your popcorn more gourmet? What flavors do you like to add?

Love the parmesan idea. I am one of those unlucky people that cilantro tastes like soap. Maybe I could sub parsley.

I cook with Parmesan all the time. Love that they make ones preshaved – what a time saver!

Love this idea! I sometimes put vinegar and season salt on my popcorn but never thought about adding lime…. can’t wait to try!

Ooh, I love this idea! I usually do parmesan and garlic salt with extra butter. Or another favorite of mine is Old Bay Seasoning and parmesan. But I need to give this one a try! Thanks for sharing at my link up!
