Real talk: for most people, a half cup of chopped cilantro per meal is the upper limit. That’s a generous handful. Beyond that, you’re entering the danger zone. Think of it like this: if you can taste the cilantro more than the main dish, you’ve gone too far.
If you’re making a massive batch of pico de gallo for a party, sure, toss in a cup—you’re sharing the burden. But eating it solo? Stick to a tablespoon or two per serving. Your taste buds and your social life will thank you.
