Tabouleh Spring Salad
By Esther Boateng
Enjoy your spring salad with a sizzling steak, or a chunk of chargrilled chicken; alternatively, skip the meat altogether and top with crushed sprouted almonds, lightly toasted pine nuts, or mashed avocado and a poached egg. This recipe calls for Carolina Gold Rice, but you can swap with bulgur wheat, barley, buckwheat, or amaranth; all are worthy contenders.
The same goes for parsley. Traditional tabbouleh recipes use plenty of parsley, but feel free to replace this ingredient with spinach or enjoy a mix of both. Go ahead and make your own vinaigrette; it adds a tangy touch to this refreshing spring salad.
