EARTHLY EATING
Tabouleh Salad
Each month, we bring you delicious, nutritious, and eco-friendly recipes that our staff members love!
This month’s Earthly Eating recipe is Tabouleh Salad, recommended by the EWT’s Head of Marketing, Sizie Modise who says it is a wonderful Lebanese vegetarian salad to make for guests, as it brightens up any table.
Everything should be finely chopped, especially the parsley, as you don’t want to see any leaves in it. You can prep the tabbouleh in advance if need be. However, do not add the tomatoes or the dressing until ready to serve.
