Spinach and Tabouleh salad is what happens when I get a craving for my favorite ingredients all at the same time. As you may already know, I'm a HUGE spinach eater. Blanched, baked or fresh, I'll eat spinach anyway, anyday, it's served to me. I'm also a big fan of mushrooms. In much the same way, I will eat them anyway they can be cooked. Tabouleh or bulgar wheat is fairly new to me. I've eaten it quite a bit over the last year, but not beyond the cold salad serving. It has a mild nutty grain flavor that's makes it a versatile ingredient for other dishes. But like I said, I haven't used it beyond the salad recipe. I'm the only one in my house that will eat tabouleh, that's the root of the reason why I haven't explored more dishes using it. None the less, I like it! And I KNOW I have SDR friends who like it, too.
HERE'S WHAT I THREW TOGETHER
- 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and torn into bite size pieces
- 1/2 cup white button mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup prepared tabouleh
- salt and fresh ground pepper
- drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Toss all the goodies in a medium bowl. You're ready for a light lunch or healthy afternoon snack to tie you over until dinner.
If you like making tabouleh, what recipes do you suggest I try? Got any that will win over a couple of picky eaters? I'd like to know about them. I don't mind eating alone, but it's more fun to share.
