parsley

Tabbouleh's leafy base

Parsley is a leafy herb used as a garnish and flavoring in cooking.

The flat-leaf variety (Italian parsley) has stronger flavor; the curly variety is milder and often decorative.

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the pasta.

A sprig of parsley on the plate signals a finished dish, though it often goes uneaten.
