We’ve had lots of requests for this recipe after we made it for taco night. It works as a salsa or a slaw; with chips, in tacos or burritos, or on its own. It’s very forgiving of substitutions and mixing fresh and dried ingredients. From LooksLikeHomemade

- 1 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 1 8oz jar of chopped or pickled jalapeños w/ juice or
1/4 cup of nice vinegar & some fresh hot/medium peppers — Artesano’s Honey Wine or Cyser Vinegars work great! - About 3 T oil – enough to moisten salad (optional)

If you are making this more than a day in advance wait until just before serving to add the oil, jalapeños or vinegar, and seasonings.
