In a salsa recipe, what can I replace cilantro with…I don like that spice.?
Cilantro isn’t an acquired taste, you either like it or you don’t, based on your genetics. The genetic element is whether you have a certain chemical in your saliva; either you have it or you don’t, and cilantro either tastes like soapy dishwater or like something citrus-like. I’m guessing about the good taste, since I got the dishwater gene. Possible substitutions include flat leave parsley or a long jagged edge leaf herb called recao or culantro or screwpine or sawtooth. It’s a different plant than cilantro, despite the similarity in spelling between CILANTRO and CULANTRO. To confuse things even more, the two plants are also called CORIANDER and LONG CORIANDER, respectively.
