This week’s spotlight is on one of the most versatile and vibrant herbs: Cilantro. Whether you love its zesty, citrusy flavor or its powerhouse health benefits, cilantro is a must-have in any plant-based kitchen.
Why Cilantro?
Cilantro isn’t just tasty—it’s also packed with antioxidants, vitamin K and essential minerals like potassium. It’s perfect for enhancing fresh, oil-free recipes while supporting your health.
Cilantro is a game-changer in so many dishes! Its zesty, citrusy flavor pairs beautifully with bean burritos, adding a refreshing burst to every bite. It also takes salads to the next level, bringing a bright, herbaceous note that complements fresh veggies perfectly. Whether sprinkled on tacos, blended into dips or stirred into soups, cilantro enhances flavors in a way that’s bold, vibrant and utterly delicious.

Herb Tip:
To keep cilantro fresh longer, trim the ends of the stems and store them in a glass of water in the fridge. Cover loosely with a plastic bag to retain moisture.

Here’s to a weekend filled with vibrant flavors and plant-based joy.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
