What’s a good substitute for cilantro

cilantrosubstitutions

I have several friends with the soap gene (cilantro tastes like soap to them), my father's allergic (it gives him a headache) and because of a lifetime of avoiding the stuff, I find cilantro overwhelming in just about everything.

Typically, I substitute parsley, but sometimes it still feels like the dish is missing something. Are there other good substitutes for cilantro, either individual herbs or combinations?

I would try Lime Basil or a mixture of 1/2 vinegar, and 1/2 bottled lime juice (small portion).
