Tabbouleh Salad
Description
Tabbouleh Salad is a herb-forward dish featuring a large amount of chopped parsley combined with diced cucumber and tomato, thinly sliced green onion, and fresh chopped mint. The dressing made from olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper brings a bright and slightly tangy character that complements the fresh vegetables and herbs. The salad’s texture is crisp and loosely combined for a light mouthfeel.
This salad can be served as a side dish or a light meal and fits well alongside Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. It is particularly suitable for warmer weather due to its refreshing qualities.
For added substance, cooked bulgur wheat or quinoa can be included, and the seasoning adjusted to taste by increasing salt, pepper, or garlic. The salad keeps well refrigerated in an airtight container for several days, making it a convenient make-ahead option.
