Notes
Is cilantro and coriander the same?
Cilantro is a herb that is used in many different cuisines around the world and has a very distinct taste. However;
While both cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, they have different uses and tastes.
Cilantro is the the leaves and stems of the coriander plant.
When the plant flowers and turns seed the seeds are called coriander seeds. Due to their different taste profiles, cilantro and coriander cannot be used interchangeably.

Recipe Variation.
- Spicy avocado hummus.
- Create your own spicy avocado hummus by adding ½ jalapeno and ½ teaspoon of cumin before blending.
It gives a bold and tangy twist to this classic dip. Note that I only suggest ½ of a jalapeno.
I think this combo works best when there is just a hint of heat, but of course you are welcome to add the other half to amp it up.
