If you have gall bladder or kidney problems stay away from parsley since it contains oxalates. If oxalates become too concentrated in body fluids, they will crystallize and cause health problems. But if you do not have any kidney or gall bladder problems, eating parsley should be no issue.


I love eating parsley, I make tabbouleh salad and enjoy it that way. Its a delicious Mediterranean salad that is so good for your health.
All you need is 1/2 cup cracked wheat (soak it in warm water and drained) chopped parsley, chopped tomato, chopped green onion, chopped bell pepper, chopped mint, 1/2 cup olive oil, some lemon juice, some salt and black pepper for flavoring.

Add all that in a bowl, mix it well and serve over fresh lettuce leaves.

There you have it! Hope you enjoy making this delicious Tabbouleh salad and take advantage of this healthy herb!
Thank you for reading!
