-Swap out the raisins for another dried fruit you have. Cherries, figs, or cranberries would be nice. You can also replace the parsley with cilantro.
-To give the salad a nice zing, add some chopped
preserved lemon if you have it.
-If you don't have any
homemade harissa paste, you don't have to go out and buy some. Just substitute it by adding 1 teaspoon of paprika, ¼ teaspoon of coriander, and an additional ¼ teaspoon of cumin to the salad.
