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!

Instructions for Citrus Ginger dressing
