dried cilantro in salsa

This summer I tried to have an herb garden.  Next year I will try harder.

Here’s my salsa.

It happened.  We had all the garden ingredients for great salsa but a 30 minute drive to town to buy fresh cilantro.  Therefore, the dried cilantro was on hand and it was used.

And you know what?  You can’t tell.  The juiciness of the fresh tomatoes absorb into the cilantro.

So save your money, and buy the dried cilantro.

  2. You didn’t really say if there was any flavor in the dried cilantro, you just said the cilantro absorbed the tomatoes. In every other discussion I’ve read about dried cilantro, they said it had practically zero cilantro flavor compared to fresh. Dried is definitely convenient but cilantro loses just about everything after drying.

  3. Undeniably consider that that you stated. Your favourite justification seemed
    to be on the net the easiest thing to take note of. I say to you,
    I definitely get irked whilst folks think about concerns that they just do not recognize about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top as neatly as outlined out the entire thing with
    no need side effect , other people could take a signal.
    Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
