Do you love a good tabbouleh salad? It’s one of my favorite things! Making it from scratch takes it to a whole different level! I recently made this dish to bring to a potluck. My good friend who hosted the event is a vegan and I wanted to surprise her with a special vegan dish! It was a huge hit and I served it with my homemade pita bread. I also brought homemade hummus! This recipe has a lot of love in it and a unique blend of seasonings you won’t find in other recipes. I like to kick it up a notch with a pinch of cayenne pepper and I go heavy on the garlic! Although this dish is a salad it’s served more like a dip. I hope you love it! It’s healthy, flavorful, and the perfect summer potluck recipe!
