Grab a bunch of fresh clean, dry cilantro not dripping with water (water adds weight).
Weigh the whole bunch of cilantro before slicing and adding it to your salsa recipe
Let’s say 12.5 ounces is what you start with
Go ahead and prepare your salsa mix adding your cilantro as you go
When the salsa is done the way you like it, weigh the remaining cilantro
Let’s say 4.5 ounces of cilantro is left on the table
Subtract what you started with (12.5 oz) from what is left on the table (4.5 oz) and that is how much fresh cilantro you used in your world famous salsa sauce – 8 oz.
Here’s the math, again

Measure out more of the liquid than you know is needed for your recipe.
Let’s say 100 ounces is what you start with
