Printed in Taste for Life via the cookbook 'Smashing Plates' by Maria Elia. I had fun customizing this recipe! Red onion or scallions can replace the shallots if you prefer. Did you notice a certain ingredient missing from the list? No bulgur.

How To Make carrot tabbouleh salad

  • 1
    With a food processor on the PULSE setting or by hand finely mince the carrots, beets, fresh parsley, fresh mint, garlic and shallots. Stir in the lemon zest.
  • 2
    Place the vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • 3
    Transfer the mixture to a large salad bowl or platter. (I lined the edges of the bowl with baby spinach leaves, as an option.) Garnish with grape tomatoes, cucumber slices and lemon slices. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.
