Tabbouleh

I am a huge fan of middle eastern food - it's full of flavor and pretty healthy too. So last weekend I decided to take advantage of the season and my thriving herb garden with this delicious tabbouleh recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. I paired it with my sister's recipe for hummus, some grilled lamb chops that I had in the freezer from Easter and Greek pita. Grilled chicken and taziki would work well with this menu too.

Tip - When buying pita, don't bother with that dried out pocket bread style pita - it is not worth the carbs. Many grocery stores have authentic Greek style pita (no pocket) that is delicious. It's especially good if you brush on a little olive oil on each side and put it on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side.
