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.
