Mediterranean Tabbouleh with Kale
2015-01-28 12:27:37
Tabbouleh is a traditional Lebanese vegetarian dish considered to be a salad or a side dish. Bulgar is a wheat based grain that is used as the base for Tabbouleh. The dish is flavored with tomatoes, cucumbers, parley and fresh lemon juice. This is my unique creation on a healthier version of tabbouleh made with kale. I hope you love it!
