Taboule with Cinnamon, Lemon Zest and Greek Yogurt-Honey-Mustard Dressing
Enjoy this easy, delicious, light but filling salad that needs no cooking and is brimming with flavor and health. Bulgur is the base for taboule. I've added a touch of cinnamon and lemon zest to perk the flavor profile up, and Greek yogurt dressing, optional, for a little extra refreshing touch.
