Use cilantro in vegetables, soups, and sauces. Mediterranean cilantro pesto, prepared by using fresh cilantro, red pepper, garlic cloves, olive oil, pumpkin seeds with few drops of lemon juice is a great addition on pasta, in Sandwiches, or as a marinade. Freshly chopped and sautéed cilantro leaves are also a great addition to green salad.
