depends on your taste, if you don't like cilantro no,

if you do like cilantro, you are probably better off just killing yourself instead of eating pico without cilantro

fuck it. I just use an extra bitter lime, a clove of garlic and a drop of apple cider vinegar. Cilantro can kiss my ass.

Cilantro is part of the recipe. You can leave it out, just like you could leave out the onions, chilies or tomatoes, but then you're making a compromised version of the recipe.

Next time you're there, check the labels and smell each one.

Parsley is the one smells like the ocean and tastes like soap.

Cilantro doesn't taste soapy at all to me, just like a fresh herbal scent almost like mint or parsley with citrus overtones

I tried making tomato and onion salad dressed with oil and vinegar once and the onions absolutely wrecked my gut and made me feel horrible. And I have eaten raw onion lots of times in sandwiches, burgers etc; and I can eat very spicy food.

tomato, onion and vinegar are pretty acidic I think. Also, maybe the onions were too old to be used raw
