Key Takeaways
• Chop the coriander stems along with leaves for salsa that taste fresher and more lively.
• Adding coriander tribes strengthens the taste and texture and food waste.
• This upgrade works with both a aroma lift bought in the shop as well as with homemade salsa.
After the college I was obsessed by Emerald Valley Kitchen Hot Salsa – loud, it is no longer done. It was so much fresher than the angry, shell -stable salsas that I grew up with the food that I had it down through the tubful.
The only thing I didn’t like? The price tag. This salsa was not in my league at around four dollars for a tub (this was early in the early 2010s). It started my journey to create my own “house” Salsa recipe and much more affordable than anything I could buy in the shop.
After years of experimenting it was my husband, not me who broke the code on a really great homemade salsa in restaurant style that plays well with everything, from eggacos to bean-tostadas. We always have a quart container in our refrigerator and our friends demand that he can do it for every garden grill and potluck.
An overlooked ingredient
However, my husband and I always want to try to improve our recipes with upgrades with low loads. A few years ago we went through a green molar phase, and a recipe called for both coriander leaves And Stem. When I chopped her, I noticed that they were not hard and thread -shaped at all. I started experimenting and added to other dishes such as Chile Verde and Pozole. They always added a bright coriander taste and a crispy texture.
Then one day when I made my husband’s salsa recipe instead of picking the coriander leaves from the stems, I chopped the coriander, the stem and everyone. They added a deeper fresh coriander taste and a pleasant crunch that immediately improved the entire batch. Since then, I have added Coriander tribes, whether homemade or bought in the shop.

How to add your salsa coriander trunks
If you create your own salsa, this trick is super easy because you probably already have coriander at hand and the stems are added, saves you the work to select the leaves. Just take a small handful of coriander, cut off all discolored stem ends and finely chop the coriander before stirring it into the salsa.
However, this upgrade is also perfect for salsas bought in the shop. Adding coriander stems gives the salsa a homemade taste and a homemade look.
Now that I know how delicious coriander tribes are, I hardly throw them out. It makes my meals even more tasty, and although it is not much, it feels like a victory to reduce a little food waste even.
