Tabbouleh with Foxtail Millet & Mixed Herbs (Fusion Lebanese Salad)

 

           Tabbouleh is a traditional Lebanese salad which is very nutritious and healthy. It has the goodness of greens in the form of parsley and mint. The addition of couscous, tomatoes and onion makes it even more appetizing. Salt, pepper, lemon juice balances the taste and flavour of this salad. 

          However, check out my version of Tabbouleh prepared with foxtail millet and mixed herbs. Besides the mandatory onion and tomato, I also added some chopped mixed dry fruits, cheese, boiled black chickpeas and dry rose petals. Enjoy it as it is, with grilled meat or Arabic bread.
