This recipe was inspired by the simple Mediterranean tabouli salad that is just about one of my favorite things to eat. Tabouli is a bright, citrusy salad made with lots of fresh parsley, bulgar wheat and bright tomatoes and finished off with lots of lemon juice and garlic. Its quite divine and pairs really well with grilled meats.


Here we're using chickpeas instead of bulgar wheat and throwing our own spin on the salad. We've got a heaping amount of fresh Italian parsley, fresh mint from my garden, and few sprigs of fresh oregano and a splash of lemon juice. Make this a side dish, or place it over a bed of baby kale or spinach.
