Parsley has a milder flavour, so adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can help recreate coriander’s bright, citrusy notes. If you’re not a fan of coriander’s distinctive taste, fresh mint or dill also work well, bringing a fresh, vibrant flavour without the more divisive ‘soapy’ notes some people experience.
