Lazy dinner

Last night I didn't feel like cooking but I was hungry and wasn't interested in street food either. It was time for a 'lazy dinner', and my favorite one is my own version of tabbouleh, meaning as long as I can find parsley, mint leaves, and tomatoes, I can add anything I want (or whatever available) into the salad.



The basic

A handful of fresh parsley and mint leaves, chopped.
2 medium tomatoes, finely diced.

This time, I added:

1 clove garlic, finely chopped
½ cup diced mozarella

And believe it or not, instead of olive oil and lemon juice, I used vinaigrette as dressing!

I have the difficulty to find bulghur here, so I prefer whole-wheat bread to accompany the salad. The other time I added to the same salad around half-cup of cooked white beans. It was also yummy!

Basic vinaigrette (for this salad):

1 part red wine vinegar
3 parts extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Shake the ingredients in a jar or small bottle.
