Millet tabbouleh – fresh millet salad
Today I would like to reccomend this millet tabbouleh which is a fresh millet salad. For those who do not know tabbouleh, it is a Levantine vegetarian salad served as an appetizer at the beginning of the meal. While the original recipe requires use of bulgur there are many varieties that allow to use rice, cooked barley, millet or just vegetables. Fresh and tasty, this salad is perfect summer appetizer or a side dish.
