4 ways to use cilantro

Cilantro is a powerhouse herb that brings bright, citrusy flavor to dishes- but only when used thoughtfully. Here’s how you can maximize its potential:

  • Pair wisely– Cilantro thrives with lime, garlic, chili, and coconut but can clash with heavy dairy or delicate flavors
  • Use the whole herb– The stems are just as flavorful as the leaves, making them perfect for sauces and marinades
  • Don’t cook it too long– Heat dulls its fresh, vibrant taste. Add it toward the end or use it raw for maximum impact.
