Recipe Summary Non-Traditional Tabbouleh Salad With Pineapple And Pomegranate Seeds

This salad was served at a traditional Lebanese restaurant, and I could not wait to go home and duplicate the taste. It is definitely a twist on the traditional salad, and my Lebanese brother-in-law insists it should not be called 'tabbouleh.' All I know is that it is very tasty and has the majority of the ingredients of a 'traditional' tabbouleh salad.

Ingredients | Chicken Salad Recipes South Africa

3 cups chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 cups finely chopped small cucumber

2 cups finely chopped pineapple

2 cups pomegranate seeds

½ cup minced onion

¼ cup minced fresh mint leaves

⅔ cup olive oil

½ cup fresh lemon juice, or to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Mix parsley, cucumber, pineapple, pomegranate seeds, onion, and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salad and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.

Refrigerate salad until chilled, at least 15 minutes.

I buy pre-cut pineapple and pomegranate seeds to save on time.

The salad can be prepared ahead of time, but do not add lemon juice, olive oil, or seasonings until just before serving.

Use Lebanese or English varietals of cucumber for best results.
