Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I was in Yucatan the first time I tasted cilantro. I thought it was just awful, my friend went crazy for it. As soon as we laned in L.A. she bought a bunch and ate the whole thing with salad dressing. I couldn't believe it. I had to try using it, I made salsa and I thought it tasted great but I couldn't get the scent off my hands. Cilantro soon grabbed hold of me. I toss it into soups and stews, I always have a bunch in the fridge.

One of the reasons I ordered it was because of the comments on this board. Yum, I thought. it was an " Asian " salad. Well, I had it and it was pretty good, but at first I didn't taste the cilantro, and then BINGO! it hit. And I was, for a moment or two, transported into a realm of bliss. :-) Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 honest, I am so glad I joined this board. I love the conversations! It may sound silly, but I never would have thought to put cilantro fresh into a salad. Now I will. (I would just use in in recipes when called for...) Even though it was in my salad today (also bought at TGIF's), it took this post to make me realize I can put cilantro in a salad at home! Oh happy days!! ________________________________ Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower Mon, December 14, 2009 11:08:00 PM [veg_grp] cilantro I was in Yucatan the first time I tasted cilantro.
