Preserved Lime Tabbouleh Salad image

I found this delicious looking salad from Cooking Light May 2010 issue. The magazine states that, "Preserved citrus is a key to many Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes. Traditional recipes take weeks. Our version is ready in a few hours." They suggest serving this salad with grilled tofu steaks.

I'm allergic to citrus fruits, so I couldn't try this salad. But it looks delicious!

This salad was a lot of work to make, and it didn't really live up to my expectations. I probably won't make it again.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

This salad was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much preserved lime. Next time, I'll use less.

This salad was a great way to use up some leftover parsley and mint. It's a great side dish for grilled meats or fish.
