    I do not like cilantro. I will be substituting flat-leaf parsley or fresh celery leaves unless someone can suggest a more flavorful substitute. Please give me suggestions for alternatives to the cilantro.

      Parsley and celery leaves are both great options. You could also try fresh tarragon, mint, dill, or fennel fronds. This is a nice simple salad that would shine with the addition of virtually any herb!
