Beet Tabbouleh

This Beet Tabbouleh is a very perfect salad for cold winter days. I love eating it as a side dish as it is perfect eating both warm and cold. This tabbouleh is so flavorflul and so nutritious as you can tell from its bright colour.

This bright pink twist on tabbouleh is flavoured with sweet, earthy beetroot, dill, parsley, couscous and crisp cucumber.

Cus Cus and Beetroot make such a lovely flavour together and combines each other. And the crispiness of the cucumber makes the salad so balanced.

Tips for the best Beet Tabbouleh

• First thing is use A LOT of Lemon juice. This makes the salad sour as tabbouleh should be and combines all the flavours together.
• Use A LOT of herbs. This is also very optional but I found myself that tabbouleh without many herbs is bad. You can also get creative here and mix other herbs if you would like. You can try adding mint or spring onions to the tabbouleh
• If you plan on having leftovers leave the dressing and rest of the ingredients in separate bowls. Next day just toss everything together and enjoy fresh tabbouleh.
