thanks for the no cilantro recipe. I’m one of those people to whom it takes soapy. Can’t wait to make this recipe for dip

Thank you for a cilantro free recipe. I am one of the 10% of the population with the genetic defect that makes cilantro taste like soap. I am very anxious to try this recipe once I receive my bottle of Mexican oregano.
