This winter tabbouleh salad with flaked salmon is a twist on a classic Middle Eastern summer salad. We’ve used spiced roasted cauliflower, crunchy toasted walnuts and baked salmon fillets to give this refreshing salad a seasonal spin. Pomegranate seeds and bright pickled onions give our winter tabbouleh salad an extra pop of colour too! A classic tabbouleh is packed with fresh herbs, and we’ve used a good bunch of mint and parsley to keep that distinctive herby flavour. Dressed simply in the juice of a lemon and seasoned with salt and pepper, this winter tabbouleh salad is a healthy but filling meal that makes a perfect weeknight dinner when you want to make a healthy choice without compromising on flavour.
