I love this salad and have made it several times. But I went to make it again and looked it up and realized the recipe doesn’t include one of the ingredients you have pictured: the leafy green. I’m guessing it’s cilantro (though I guess it could be parsley?), but again, I’ve never included it before since I always went by the text recipe, which doesn’t list it. Could you update the recipe to include what it is and how much?
great catch! just updated it with correct herb – cilantro! you were right.
