Cilantro Substitute

I have a salsa recipe that I want to can and it calls for fresh cilantro.  I cannot find it anywhere!  I have been to the farmers market and 2 grocery stores.  Can I substitute another herb for it?  If so what?  Or can I use dried? If so how much?

TIA

    Are you sure it isn/t there?  It is usually with the lettuces/parsleys and not with the other fresh herbs.  I don't know of a substitute as it is a very distinct taste.

    You could add some ground coriander if you can't find fresh cilantro because coriander is the seed from the cilantro plant.  Not as pretty, but same/similar flavor.

    I am positive.  I even asked and they said they did not carry it!  

    Any ideas on using dried?  I know that dried is 4 times more potent so I would need 1/4 the fresh amount.
