This simple yet delicious couscous tabbouleh salad is the side dish you need to bring some flavors and freshness into your life, in only 15 minutes!
Tabbouleh salad is traditionally made of bulgur and parsley, but my mom always made it different, and her version is by far my favorite so I thought I would share it with you as well!
The main ingredient of this revisited version is couscous, which makes the salad more lightweight than with bulgur and which makes the preparation even quicker to make (couscous cooks in a few minutes).
But my favorite part of this recipe is mint. I LOVE MINT, not only because it reminds me of mojitos, but also because it just brings a fresh feel to any dish you add it to.
You got me, I could probably eat this tabbouleh salad every day, on its own, but you know, it’s always better to vary your diet (-:
Try it with chickpeas or a side dish to your meat or fish! I really hope you will love it as much as I do, enjoy!
