This Parsley, Pine Nut & Currant Salad is a simple yet flavorful dish that's perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish.

- Roast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown. This enhances their flavor and adds a bit of crunch.
- Soak the currants in warm water for about 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain them well before adding to the salad.
- Use a sharp knife to finely chop the parsley and red onion for the best texture and flavor distribution.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, or even add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- For extra freshness, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the salad just before serving.
