Kale Tabouli Salad

By Blue Sky Organic Farms

This week’s recipe share is a refreshing take on the well-known Mediterranean/Middle Eastern dish Tabouli (Tabbouleh). While it is common to create this dish with parsley, mint, and fine bulgur wheat, Chef Danielle decided to create a more accessible recipe with items you may already have on hand. You’ll need no more than 7 ingredients, and one of them will be in your CSA Farm Box- green curly kale! Take a peek, and try your hand at this easy, delightful salad.
