Vegan Cilantro Recipes

Browse 30+ healthy vegan cilantro recipes! Studies show cilantro provides phytonutrients and antioxidants, as well as antimicrobial protection. It's also a great source of vitamins K and A. Cilantro is versatile in Mexican, South American, Thai, and Asian-inspired recipes. Or garnish it on tacos, burritos, pizza, soup, rice, and chili for added flavor.

Selecting & storing: When shopping for fresh cilantro, find leaves that are firm and green, with a vibrant smell. (Avoid any with yellow or brown spots.) For storing, I snip the bottom stems, then place it in a glass jar with water on my countertop. It's like a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, except they're nutritious herbs instead! I find it keeps for several days like this. But you can also place it in the jar with water, then cover the leaves with a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator.

Seasonal availability: Cilantro is available year-round, however it's a cooler season herb so it grows best in the spring and fall. It usually doesn't tolerate the heat of summer very well.
