Pomegranate Tabbouleh

A Christmas inspired recipe that was an absolute hit with my friends and family over the festive season. This tabbouleh style salad is packed full of flavour. With the sweetness from the pomegranate seeds, the citrus from the lemon, the fresh herbs and the tangy feta, it’s an absolute winner. It’s nutritious, delicious and pretty to look at, making the perfect dish to have as a meal or take along to share at an event with friends or family.
