Cilantro also commonly known as Coriander is a herb from the parsley family. Cilantro is low in calories and has a high content of vitamin K which promotes strong bones & teeth. And like most leafy greens it is high in antioxidants
Cilantro dip or often referred to as green chutney in southern Asia goes well with most snacks, raw veggies, burgers, wraps, fried chicken and so on. The dip stays good for 2 weeks but you can store the dip in the freezer without adding yogurt for 3-4 weeks. Thaw, add yogurt and enjoy!
