Micro Herb Garden Tabbouleh

This refreshing tabbouleh salad is a great way to use up fresh microgreens, and it's the perfect summer side dish. The combination of fresh herbs, vegetables, and a lemony vinaigrette is sure to please everyone at the table.

Tabbouleh is a classic Middle Eastern salad that is typically made with bulgur, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and parsley. While the traditional version is delicious, we've decided to give it a modern twist by using microgreens instead of bulgur. Microgreens are young, tender greens that are packed with nutrients. They have a slightly peppery flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in this salad.
