Lentil Tabbuleh
Updated: Feb 22, 2021
If you don't know what tabbuleh is, it's a traditional Levantine, plant based salad made with lots of parsley, and bits of tomato, bulgur, mint, and onion. It's a very well-known and common dish made in the Middle East and I wanted to remake it my own way. I made it my own by adding lentils and it turned out spectacular! It was delicious and used for my meal preps for school. I hope you guys give it a try. Let's get to the recipe!
