Easy Tabouli Salad

I love this salad, I make it a lot in the summer when I have tons of fresh herbs in my garden. I get in the mood for falafel and just have to have this salad with it along with freshly made hummus.

If you don’t like mint, use cilantro or dill. I think dill lends a nice fresh taste to salads like potato and macaroni, so why not tabouli? Lemon balm is also a nice herb to try in this or any salad.

Celery is not authentic, but lends a nice crunch. Dressed simply with olive oil and lemon juice, this salad couldn’t be healthier!

The amount of herbs you use is entirely up to you. I like it with more whole grain, and the herbs minces really finely. A food processor does a better job than a knife, for me anyway. Authentically, this salad is more herb than bulger, but it’s a matter of taste.
