Cilantro Salad

From Bon Appetit May 1998. Very important to use the freshest cilantro you can find at the market with dark green color and no slimy leaves. Great accompaniment to fish, meats or pasta! (For a little bit more color contrast, throw in a small amount of shredded red cabbage or carrot.)
