Salsa Essential

Cilantro epitomizes the flavor of summer. Make your own salsa with it, add it to soups, or sprinkle it over grilled fish for a healthy summer supper. The leaves look similar to flat-leafed parsley—if you grow both you might need to label them. A great variety: Slow-Bolt, named for its reluctance to go to seed.
