I fell in love with Cilantro after just several bites! I credit my friend, Fernando, who is a native of Columbia with the recipe. Prior to trying this, I really hated Cilantro. But this has so much of it that you could almost say it's a Cilantro salsa. It just hit me over the head with it's unusual flavor, helped along with the vinegar and white pepper.
