Happy Cinco de Mayo: My SUPER SIMPLE recipe for cilantro salsa


Happy Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Here's my SUPER SIMPLE recipe for "very fresh"* cilantro salsa:

  1. Place the fresh green tops of some cilantro in a blender/food processor, pack it in (some bits of stem okay)
  2. Splash some vinegar on it, about 1/3 full, and pulverize.
RESULT:  a nice green, "very fresh"* sauce/salsa

This sauce (a/ka 'salsa') can be thinned with more vinegar (&/or water) to make a vinegar/dressing; add oil if you want (I usually don't, because I let everyone control how heavy or light they want their dressing at the table, by passing the oil separately).
, 

Well, now...it's time to go soak some coriander (cilantro in it's seed form) seeds to plant out.



*"very fresh" according to friends when I inevitably make this for a party in AZ; I rarely have any left, and that was in Arizona, where people LOVE their salsas!
