Tabouleh Salad with Lime Infused Sea Salt

This tabouleh-style salad is a fresh couscous side with cucumber, tomato, jalapeno, red onion, parsley, black pepper, and Florida Pure Lime Infused Sea Salt. The couscous steams quickly in hot water, then gets tossed with crisp vegetables and herbs for a bright salad that works with grilled chicken, tacos, seafood, burgers, or a mezze-style spread. Lime Infused Sea Salt brings citrusy lift without making the salad watery, and it helps the cucumber, tomato, and parsley taste sharper. Serve it chilled or at room temperature for lunches, picnics, cookouts, or weeknight sides.

1 tsp of Florida Pure Lime Infused Sea Salt

½ tsp of black pepper

Why Lime Infused Sea Salt Works in This Tabouleh Salad

Lime Infused Sea Salt works in this salad because the vegetables and herbs need both salt and brightness. The lime flavor lifts cucumber, tomato, parsley, red onion, and jalapeno, while the sea salt seasons the couscous evenly. It is especially helpful when you want a fresh citrus note without adding too much liquid to the salad.

Instructions:

Add couscous to a bowl and pour in the boiling hot water

Cover with a lid and let it steam for 5 minutes

Take the lid off and fluff with a fork

Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix nicely
