Tabouli is a traditional Mediterranean salad made with fresh parsley. Be sure to clean the parsley thoroughly before chopping. Remove the tough stems from the bottom of the parsley, leaving only the leafy green tops. Submerge the parsley tops in a large bowl of cold water and wash them very well. Change the water once. Allow any sand to sink to the bottom of the bowl, then remove and dry the parsley and chop. Instead of bulgur this recipe uses hempseeds, which are lower in carbohydrates and higher in fat and protein.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (120 grams) finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley (about 1 bunch)
- 1 cup (135 grams) hempseeds

- ¼ cup (34 grams) diced tomato
- 2 tablespoons (12 grams) sliced green onion

How to Make It
