Do you have days like me where you want to eat but don’t want to feel sluggish afterward? Well, then this salad is for you. Tabouli takes its origin in the middle east, in Lebanon precisely. It is made with bulgur which is a type of wheat. There is “no cooking” required.
Like any salad, you just have to put the ingredients together in a bowl. I added some fish on the side to have some protein on my dish. It’s a very healthy dish, refreshing and absolutely delicious!
