Benefits of eating salad EVERY DAY!

How delicious does this salad look? I literally can eat salad every day and honeslty, I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! 
The right salad can give you the best nutrients and help you become healthier!
This salad is one of my favorite salads, it is called Tabbouleh salad. Originates from the middle east, mostly Palestine/Jordan area. It is so delicious and is very good for you.
Green vegitables are really good for you they contain vitamin A, C and K. The Wheat will fill you up and contains light carbs, and olive oil give your body natural minerals where you will feel energized. 


The ingredients you need to make it: 
  • 1/2 cup bulgar wheat
  • 4 firm Roma tomatoes, very finely chopped
  • 1 English cucumber (hothouse cucumber), very finely chopped
  • 2 bunches parsley, part of the stems removed, washed and well-dried, very finely chopped
  • 12-15 fresh mint leaves, stems removed, washed, well-dried, very finely chopped
  • 4 green onions, white and green parts, very finely chopped
  • Salt
  • 3-4 tbsp lime juice (lemon juice, if you prefer)
  • 3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Romaine lettuce leaves to serve, optional
  • Directions: Wash wheat and soak it in water for 5-7 minutes. Drain very well (squeeze the bulgur wheat by hand to get rid of any excess water). Set aside.Very finely chop the vegetables, herbs and green onions as indicated above. Be sure to place the tomatoes in a colander to drain excess juice.Place the chopped vegetables, herbs and green onions in a mixing bowl or dish. Add the bulgur and season with salt. Mix gently.Now add the the lime juice and olive oil and mix again.For best results, cover the tabouli and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. If you like, serve the salad with a side of pita and romaine lettuce leaves, which act as wraps or “boats” for the tabbouleh.
And that is it! You add light salt if you want more!

It is so good for you and so delicious, hopefully you try it.
