Tabbouleh is one of my favorite salads to make and eat. There are so many flavors and textures happening in this dish. From the freshness of crisp parsley, the coolness of mint, zesty flavors from fresh lemon juice and some added heartiness from the cous cous. Add a layer of complexity in flavor with pomegranate molasses. When the price of tomatoes are low in the market, it’s the perfect time to make this salad!
