I like a bit of cilantro (called coriander here) but just a little. In
salsa though I really just do something basic, the chopped tomato,
onion, salt/pepper and a bit of lime juice (sometimes a few chilli
flakes or a bit of cut up pickled jalapeno - depends on whether you like
spicy, hot or not. I do like it with some canned (in juice) crushed
pineapple and a tad of cilantro.

Hi All,

Okay, it rhymes. :-)

I have been trying to come up with a hand made salsa.

Problem: my wife is *frighteningly* allergic to cilantro
(anything in the Coriander family, which includes cumin).
And all the salsa recipes I have seen use cilantro.

What would you substitute? Parsley?

Many thanks,

Okay. In the interest of full disclosure, I hate anything
that hurts anyone I love. But, I have always thought
cilantro started out with a nasty aftertaste and I have
always hated it.
