the swaps that make it work
1/4 cup parsley
→ 1 1/2 cups parsley
Parsley is rich in vitamin K and minerals for bone strength; the larger amount boosts nutrition without changing the dish.
Plain cauliflower tabbouleh
→ Add pomegranate seeds
Pomegranate adds polyphenols, natural sweetness, and visual appeal—authentic garnish in Levantine cuisine.
Regular salt
→ Sea salt
Sea salt retains trace minerals and feels fresher without compromising sodium content.
