    What Goes Well with Coriander?

    Published: Sep 16, 2020 · Modified: May 31, 2021 by The Devil Wears Salad

    What Goes Well with Coriander

    What is Coriander?

    Coriander is a diverse plant that is a member of the Apiaceae family, commonly used for its leaves and also its seeds.

    When you’re consuming the coriander leaves as a herb, it is also commonly known as Chinese parsley (as they are related) or cilantro, which is the Spanish translation.

    If you’re using coriander seeds, which you can get as whole seeds or in a ground form, it is a spice and is called coriander seeds. It would seem cilantro refers only to the fresh herb.

    Coriander has a long history and is believed to date back as far as Persia almost 3000 years ago, adorned in the hanging gardens of Babylon to provide the surroundings with it’s lovely fragrance.

    What Does Coriander Taste Like?

    Flavour: Coriander has a fresh and lemony flavour. Well, that is for those who like them.

    Some people have a natural aversion to coriander and believe that it tastes like soap due to an issue with genetics. So strong their dislike for this herb that you can find Facebook groups dedicated to how much they hate it!

    Texture: Coriander leaves are tender and delicate while it’s stalks are chewy and stringy with a bit of crunch.

    How to Use Coriander in Salads?

    We use coriander leaves in salads as they are. We tend to roughly chop them and add it to the other ingredients or we carefully pick whole leaves for garnish.

    We also like adding coriander leaves in our salad dressing where we give them a good blitzing to create herbaceous recipes.
