Anyone else love salads as much as I do? I swear I could eat a green salad 7 days a week, and when we aren’t on a Fresh20 day, that’s usually what I’m lobbying for! My omnivore partner is a pretty good sport about it, but he needs a little variety in his life, so we’ve been trying to expand my definition of salad.
Tabouli is getting dangerously close to too-often territory too, so this is a nice variation on that – more protein, and a larger variety of flavors. I like it with naan, but pita bread works great too.
For a southwestern twist, serve it on tortillas, throw in some black beans and avocados, and use half lime juice half lemon juice!
