Hey Hayyat,
That is a really helpful idea. I love cilantro and use it in many many things and in a lot of different ways and I do use it in pesto. Now that I'm dealing with hypertension, I keep a pesto on hand at all times and am using that on most of my salads, rather than dressing. Delicious actually. Anyway, here's another idea for those who don't like it quite as much as you and I. I came across this method of extending its refrigerator life and I don't even remember from whom or how. Dampen a hand towel, cut the very bottom of the stems (of the cilantro bunch) and wrap the bottom with the dampened towel. Replace in the bag from the grocers and the leaves remain fresh for maybe a little less than a week.
What is most pleasant about your idea, is that it saves a lot of preparation time.
Thanks .....Bunches. lol. Ummi-----> Tia
