TABBOULEH

Hi! Krissy here from Self Proclaimed Foodie and Ten Acre Baker. I’m super excited to share this recipe with you because it’s not only super tasty and colorful, but everything about it is healthy. WIN! If you’ve ever eaten at any kind of Mediterranean restaurant, you’ve most likely had tabouli salad before. It seems like every time I order this recipe, it varies quite a bit from place to place. The cast of ingredients is usually more or less the same, but the ratio is what changes. I found that my recipe is the perfect balance between grain and vegetable. The dressing is so light that there’s just enough to hold it together and add the right amount of flavor without overpowering the salad. I started off eating one small bowl and quickly loaded up with seconds and thirds. And guess what? I had no guilt whatsoever.

Tabouli salad ingredients:

Much like with any salad, you can vary the quantity and type of ingredients you use, but this is what I chose:

Red Bulgur wheat – this whole grain is both terrifically nutrition and incredibly convenient. It is made from whole wheat kernels that have been parboiled, dried and cracked. It has a slightly nutty flavor. Fresh parsley and mint – stems removed and leaves are minced Cucumber – I use an English cucumber that I cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds before I chop it. Scallions, or green onions – I used both the white and green parts Tomatoes – I opted to use colorful grape tomatoes. They have a great texture and hold up well when quartered. Lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper

Nothing but healthy and wholesome ingredients!

How to make Tabouli Salad:

This recipe really couldn’t be easier.

Tabouli salad is a great make ahead option.

Typically, I don’t like making salads ahead of time because anything green gets rather yucky after it sits in the refrigerator. Because all of the herbs are chopped so fine and they’re soaking in lemon juice, they stay a nice vibrant green and continue to taste fresh. This is one of the few salads that I like to make a big batch of and continue to eat throughout the week. Because this recipe is so healthy, it’s a great grab-and-go option to have on hand.
