Shrimp & Feta Tabbouleh

Submitted by sweetstef

"I saw this recipe in a Women's Health magazine, tried it, and absolutely fell in love with it. It's the perfect summer salad - super healthy, not at all heavy and really fills you up. It says that its 4 portions but i think it's actually only 3, especially if you're eating it as a main dish. Try it, i promise you'll love it!"

Here's another wonderful salad that I'll be adding to my summer-time salad rotation, & another time I'd double the recipe so we would have left-overs for another day! Really enjoyed the combo of shrimp & the bulgur! Thanks much for sharing the recipe for this unusual & nice salad! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick A Chef]

This is a very good salad. I used a quick cooking bulgur which required only re-hydrating in boiling water. I used a combination of fresh mint and parsley. This was served with whole wheat pita bread wedges for a delicious summer meal. Made for *PAC Spring 2010*
