I feel I have really pushed myself with this recipe and one I am really proud of too. Homemade flatbread – check, spicy chicken kebabs check and yes an amazing tabbouleh salad. If it’s one thing you need to try this weekend, then it’s this brilliant home fake way of a pretty Lebanese style of food. The one salad I feel that I ate with everything during summer is this one. It goes with mixed grill, meats, fish and tofu and paneer.
