Pomegranate Tabbouleh Salad

[heart_this] · Nov 26, 2009 · 14 Comments

Pomegranate Tabbouleh Salad

The other day when I was enjoying my pomegranate and pistachio whole wheat couscous salad it reminded me a little of tabbouleh . Tabouleh is a Mediterranean parsley salad that also commonly includes things like bulgur, mint, tomatoes, etc. I always enjoy whole grain salads and I was thinking that one would make for a nice light day before T day meal. For the pomegranate tabbouleh salad I went with the standard tabbouleh components and then I added pomegranate seeds and some of the pomegranate vinaigrette from the pomegranate couscous salad for the pomegranate components. From there I added some chopped walnuts and some feta to make the salad a bit heartier. The pomegranate tabbouleh salad turned out great! The the bulgur was light and fluffy and the pomegranate vinaigrette ensured that it stayed nice and moist. I really enjoyed the salty feta and juicy sweet and tart pomegranate combo. The large amount of parsley and mint made the salad seem so fresh and vibrant. I will definitely be making this pomegranate tabbouleh salad again!

    There's still a bit of mint in my herb garden, and with pomegranates now in season, this is the perfect week to make this salad.

    Hey Kevin, I tried the recipe – thought the ideas were great – but sadly, have fallen for a different pomegrante and bulgur salad altogether. You might like the other salad, too!

    I wrote about both salads here: http://tastespace.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/pomegranate-tabbouleh-salad/
