Homemade Dried & Fresh Cilantro Substitute Recipe

Replicating the exact complex cilantro taste and aroma can be challenging when using only one type of herb. Mixing some of them can make that possible and help you have a spice blend with a well-rounded flavor.

Based on my experience, the best herbs to combine are parsley, basil, and dill. You can also add tarragon and/or oregano.
