Kabbouleh
Kale at the ready. I have loads of kale in my garden almost year round. This is one way of getting through the bounty. And it is YUM!
When is Tabbouleh not tabbouleh? When it's made with kale, no tomatoes but still has all those acidic, chewy tastes and textures. I serve this with fried halloumi for an out of this world yummy lunch. Crusty bread would also do the trick.
It is great as a side salad and the longevity of the rice and kale makes it a good one to prep ahead. You can really eat this for a couple of days as it lasts really well.
I hope you like it! I love it.
