I love cilantro.
I just do.
I don't feel like I need to justify my love to you or anyone else! We're meant to be together. I don't care if many of you don't care for Cilantro. I don't care what you say! Cilantro does not taste like soap! It does not taste bitter!
It's perfect. Fresh and clean tasting with a tiny hint of citrus.
Nothing, NOTHING will make me change my feelings for this lovely green herb.
I realize that cilantro is a love/hate kind of herb, but I always make sure to incorporate it into any Mexican dish I'm making. The other day was no exception. When I decided to make turkey tacos the other night I immediately envisioned a cool and creamy cilantro-based sauce as a finishing touch.
Just a doctored up sour cream, I thought.
What I ended up with was so much more than "jazzy" sour cream. Fresh, green and fragrant with the slight tang from a mixture of Greek yogurt and sour cream and a tart finish from fresh lime juice.
Cilantro stole the show.
Famewhore.

I used my hand blender because I was too lazy to get my food processor out. It worked perfectly fine, with a few splatters. but that is just because I forgot to take my finger off the button before I readjust.
I never said I was smart.
