Parsley Salad with Feta & Ginger-Citrus Dressing
Parsley is one of our favorite ingredients to use a base for salads. We have always loved a good Lebanese Tabbouleh Salad (which is essentially a parsley salad which chopped tomatoes, cucumber and a grain) and that’s what inspired us make this one! We paired this light herb salad with a spicy Citrus Ginger dressing. It was the perfect exciting balance of flavours for a summer lunch and the addition of feta was perfect!

1 four ounce piece of Feta cheese

Instructions for Citrus Ginger dressing
Zest both the lemons and the oranges. Juice both of the lemons and oranges and place in a jar with a lid.
Grate the cloves of garlic with a zester and place in the jar (or crush with a garlic press)
Peel the ginger, grate with a zester, and place in the jar.
Add the olive oil, honey, and hot sauce to the jar. Cover and shake like crazy!
