Grain-free tabbouleh salad

Grain-free tabbouleh salad is a refreshing and healthy take on the traditional Middle Eastern dish. This version skips the bulgur, making it perfect for those who follow a grain-free or gluten-free diet. The vibrant combination of fresh parsley, onion, cherry tomatoes, lemon, and olive oil creates a delicious and nutritious salad that's perfect as a side dish or a light meal.

Ingredients:

5 cup fresh parsley
300g
1/3 cup onion
36g
1 cup cherry tomatoes
180g
1 lemon
80g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Parsley: Wash and dry 5 cups (300g) of fresh parsley thoroughly. Once dry, finely chop the parsley. Make sure to remove any thick stems.
2. Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop 1/3 cup (36g) of onion. For a milder flavor, you can use red onion or shallots. Quarter the 1 cup (180g) cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
3. Mix the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped parsley, onion, and cherry tomatoes.
4. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon (approx. 80g). Add 2 tablespoons (27g) of olive oil, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
5. Combine: Pour the lemon-olive oil dressing over the parsley mixture. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Season to Taste: Taste the salad and add more salt and black pepper if needed.
7. Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the salad sit for at least 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir once more before serving.
8. Enjoy: Serve the grain-free tabbouleh salad as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.

Tips:

- For a finer texture, chop the parsley and onion as finely as possible.

- Use the freshest ingredients you can find to ensure the best flavor.

- Allow the salad to rest for about 15-20 minutes after mixing to let the flavors meld together.

- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add more lemon juice to taste.

- Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers for added crunch and variety.

Enjoy your grain-free tabbouleh salad as a delightful and healthy addition to any meal. This simple yet flavorful recipe is a great way to incorporate more fresh vegetables into your diet. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or enjoying it on its own, this salad is sure to be a hit!
