Tabbouleh Salad

A few sunbeams, a few more degrees than the previous weeks (not a huge challenge I must say…) and we switch to summer mode!

And if you say summer, you also say salads, barbecues and fresh food! What best than a good homecooked tabbouleh?

My son is asking for one every now and then! It’s true that kids love tabbouleh!! I do too!! 😉

Besides, this salad is rather light, nourishing and super yummy. And, as you may imagine, I have my own tips… Obviously!!

Nothing huge but it still does make the difference…

First of all, you’ll choose good vegetables at your grocery store. We want taste!! You will also need herbs (mint and coriander) and on that matter it’s no limit. I tend to be very generous to get a so delicously fresh taste.

I do recommed a high quality extra virgin olive oil. Today’s oil comes directly from Corsica… You know me, I add spices by Albert Ménès and tomato sauce by Mutti, diluted with water in order to make my wheat grow.

And to finish with, I take medium size bulgur wheat, it’s a matter of taste…

Aww, I almost forgot, I ask my husband to deal with the barbecue… 😉 Grilled meat and sausages are the perfect match with a good tabbouleh!!

Hungry now? The recipe, Chef!
