Dalia Salad| Broken Wheat Salad| Tabbouleh Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

 I have a foodie family and it is difficult for me to make salads that gets approved easily. Also, when I say that I am making 'Salad' , the immediate reaction from them is not very motivating 😆.

But this only makes me more determined to build a salad that is also very tasty. Also, all of you who are reading this post want to eat light, healthy and wholesome salad as 'one bowl meals' that is also quick and easy to build. Am I right ?

So, I am going to share some delicious salad recipes that can be enjoyed as a 'meal' for lunch or dinner. You can add a bowl of soup to this meal. If you eat eggs, then you can boil and add the white part of the egg . Also, you can add vegetables that are available at home to this basic recipe. I have used ghee to toast Dalia. If you are vegan, you can skip ghee and use oil. Also, you can use any gluten free millet of your choice . 

Together, let us start enjoying salads 👍
