Thank you, Success Rice, for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are truly my own.

Spring is quickly approaching which means that it’s time for some refreshing recipes, such as this Spring Strawberry & Cucumber Tabbouleh Salad! It’s so fresh and so easy to put together. It’s literally the best spring salad, in my opinion.  When those temperatures warm up, this salad will always be my go-to side dish or quick lunch. 

So, What is Tabbouleh?

Tabbouleh (also spelled tabouli) is traditionally a Levantine salad composed of finely chopped herbs, tomatoes, onion, bulgur or some sort of grain. These ingredients are usually seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and a dash of salt and pepper. 

As you can tell, my version is a little bit different from the original but still consists of some of those traditional tabbouleh flavors. Instead of bulgur, I decided to use Success Basmati Rice. I love using Success Rice because it’s so simple to make and it takes all the guesswork out of making rice. Just drop in the bag, let it cook for 10 minutes, and rice comes out soft and fluffy every time. 

The Basmati Rice is great in this recipe because it contains a subtle, nutty flavor and a unique texture. It pairs well with any dish – especially this Strawberry Tabbouleh Salad.
