Tabbouleh Avocado Salad with Salmon

Published: Apr 13, 2020 by Nichole Bryant · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

There are three things a great salad must have:

1. textural interest

2. protein and fat for appetite satiety

3. a well seasoned dressing

We are checking all the boxes here with this tabbouleh avocado salad with salmon. The tabbouleh provides both textural interest and a well seasoned dressing, plus avocado and salmon for appetite satiety.

This would be just as good with grilled salmon, it is the perfect summer salad. What I love about tabbouleh is that you can make it ahead because it stores super well. You can eat it by itself, or with naan and a scoop of hummus. Bulgar is also decently high in iron and is a good source of protein, so as someone who doesn't eat red meat, its a staple in my kitchen.
