Tabbouleh
Tabbouleh It is a Middle Eastern salad that is fresh, healthy, and completely 100% plant-based! Made from a mixture of soft wheat bran, lots of fresh parsley leaves, tomato and cucumber slices, dressed with lime juice and quality olive oil. This dish is very special because it is rich in the aroma of natural spices, the taste immediately combines sour and savory just right, and the texture is crunchy together. With no animal ingredients whatsoever, this dish is a perfect choice for an appetizer, side dish or a healthy light meal.
