Middle-Eastern flair: Tabbouleh salad 10/10

Middle-Eastern flair: Tabbouleh salad

Middle-Eastern tabbouleh salad is delicious and flavorful. It's filling enough to fuel you for the rest of the day but not so heavy that you'll be napping on your keyboard by 3 pm. To make it, combine quinoa, diced cucumber and tomatoes, chiseled mint leaves and cooked bulgur. Dress with olive oil and fresh-squeezed lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste. If you tend to have a bigger appetite, add 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of cheese in a second container to round out your meal with some filling protein and calcium.
