If you love BIG flavors, you’re going to want to try this Tabouli Shrimp Salad Recipe. I love tabouli salad as a snack. I gave up drive-thru food completely. So when I am running errands and realize I am starving I have been stopping into Trader Joe’s to pick up their ready-made tabouli salad.

That has been my emergency on-the-go convenience food lately. Why would I give up fast food completely? Well, after I followed the Whole30 plan during the month of January I decided to cheat one day. I was starving and forgot my healthy snack so I decided to hit the drive thru for fries and a soda. After eating a few fries my tongue and throat began to sting. I looked in my pocket mirror and saw that my tongue was bleeding! The Horror! That cured my fast food cravings ever since.

So I decided to make my new favorite healthy snack into a full on meal. To follow the Whole30 plan just omit the bulgur.

This Tabouli Shrimp Salad Recipe is vibrant, flavorful, satisfying and healthy. Everything you could possibly want in a nutritious meal.
