Have you ever eaten real Lebanese Tabouleh ? If so, this recipe is probably very similar to the one you ate / made. If not, then please try it, as it is soooooooo delicious, fresh, flavorful, and healthy ! Yes healthy as it blends parsley and mint with tomatoes, lemon, EVOO and very little wheat. You can even make it GF using quinoa, cauliflower or brocoli rice instead of bulgur. It’s been super hot lately in SG and this very simple salad has been on rotation in our menu over the last few weeks I must confess 🙂 Of course it is an entree and not enough for a meal, but from a nutrition point of view, it brings you so much antioxidants, vitamin A, K and C (parsley contains 3 times more Vitamin C then oranges). Recipe is super basic, it just requires a bit of time to finely shred / mince the herbs (use a herb grinder if you have one to save time :). Make it shortly before eating to ensure you maximize vitamin intakes !
