Avocado Tabbouleh
Kyleigh West Total Time: 50 minutes (20 minutes prep time, 30 minutes chill time) Servings: 4 side salads This recipe is great for a spring or summer day and is filled with fresh herbs and ingredients. This salad is tart and refreshing and is perfect as a side or as an entree. It’s easy to prepare and requires no oven or stove. The most difficult step can be slicing the vegetables, take your time cutting the ingredients, and remind yourself that not all of the pieces need to be uniform or perfect. As well, cutting an onion can be daunting. Cut the stem and root of the onion, and place the onion flat onto the cutting board. Cut the onion in half again, and lay flat on the cutting board. This makes it easier to slice the onion. It is recommended that you chill the salad to fully allow the flavors to soak in; however, if you are in a rush, it can be eaten immediately. This salad is a Mediterranean dish, inspired by tabbouleh. It has the main ingredients of tabbouleh like tomatoes, parsley, mint, onion, olive oil, and lemon juice; however, instead of including a grain it is substituted with avocados.
