Hemp Seed Tabouleh
What is Tabouleh
Tabouleh is a fresh and healthy Middle Eastern salad that is perfect for the summer. Made with parsley, mint, tomatoes, and bulgur wheat, it is a refreshing and filling dish that can be served as a side or a main. Traditionally it uses bulgur wheat but here I’ve changed it up a little and used hemp seeds instead.
Hemp seeds are packed full of so many amazing nutrients - high in protein, omegas 3,6 + 9. This salad is packed with nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a great addition to any diet.
Serve it with some hummus, falafels and pita breads for a little Mezze board - or it is a great as a side salad or to bring a long to your next summer BBQ.
