Love cilantro, not optional at my house
One of us is actually allergic to it and it gives them *cough, me* migranes… We usually leave it out
I know some people are HUGE fans though!
P.J. Rosen Food allergies are the worst. DH is allergic to shrimp, which cuts back on menus big time. I've developed an allergy to honeydew melon, can't even eat a fruit salad I've not prepared, due to possible cross contamination. The human body works in mysterious ways.

I have lived in Mexico for over thirty years. Nobody adds hot sauce to the guacamole. If you want it hot you chop a couple of fresh serranos and add them in, which is far healthier than anything you can get from a can or a bottle. We usually don't because it isn't exactly popular with young children, and you can do lots of things with it besides using it as a dip. Try it as a side dish or used as a spread on sandwiches and tostadas, or spooned into carne asada tacos.
