we had no limes, so we used lemon juice;
we had no olive oil, so we used just a tiny bit of vegetable oil;
we had no maple syrup, so we used honey;
we had no cumin seeds, so we used ground cumin;
we had no raisins, so we used dried apricots;
we had no red pepper, so we used green;
we had no red onions, so we used Vidalia*;
we had no fresh parsley**, so we used a bit of dried parsley;
we had no pitas, so we used homemade bread;
and we had no mixed greens, so we used red leaf lettuce.

By the way, we liked this a lot. Probably a new staple.
Oh, and we added carrots and put toasted almonds on top.
*which for some reason were cheaper at Wegmans than yellow onions were.
**or cilantro, but there will never be cilantro in my mouth voluntarily if I'm in charge of cooking.
