Tropical Tabbouleh


Organizing cooking sessions for over two years made me realized that we do not eat enough vegetables. For the past few sessions and the following ones, a salad course is added to the menu along with the usual full course meal. To continue with the letter T theme, my Brazilian friend has chosen to make a tropical tabbouleh, a fresh and fruity salad which can be used as sides to calm down the heat of spicy foods.

Serves 8
Preparation Time: 10 mins

1 cucumber, cubed
1 cup pineapple, cubed
2 mangos, cubed
