How to Chop Cilantro
Report
Cilantro is a fresh herb that adds the most lovely bright and citrusy flavor to SO many dishes. It's rather easy to chop it up and mix it into your favorite Mexican and Mediterranean recipes — if you know a few key knife techniques and tricks.

Ingredients
- 1 cilantro bunch
Instructions
- Clean Cilantro: Add cilantro to a colander in the sink and rinse with water for 1-2 minutes while moving the leaves to release any bits of dirt that might be stuck. Dry between paper towels or use a salad spinner. (The drier it is, the easier it is to cut!)
- Measure and Store: Remove the amount of cilantro you would like to cut from the bunch. Place the remainder in a glass mason jar filled halfway with water. Cover with a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
- Chop Cilantro: Place the cilantro on a cutting board and cut where it starts to turn from a bush into only thick stems. Discard the stems. Bunch the cilantro up together and starting from one end, begin to cut using an up-and-down motion along the length of the cilantro. Once it is all cut, turn your knife 90-degrees and cut again in an up-and-down motion until it is either roughly chopped or finely chopped to your liking.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container lined with paper towels for up to 2-3 days.
