Cucumber Parsley Salad Recipe

Cucumber Parsley Salad recipe

Jump to Recipe

This is a very addictive little cucumber parsley salad recipe that Batman and I like a lot. Somewhat of a riff on the middle-easter Tabbouleh salad.
Comes in really handy at times when you would be inclined to reach for the chips and salsa as an afternoon snack, or on a game day Sunday. I serve it with a bowl of chia and quinoa chips and many times we have made a meal of it on a hot summer day, guilt free !

With the addition of black rice you get both texture and beautiful color contrast, but also a very filling snack. Feel free to substitute for brown rice if that’s what you have on hand. Personally I love the contrast between the green parsley and the black rice grains. 

This parsley salad recipe is so easy, not time-consuming at all, it really is just a matter of chopping, mixing and adjusting seasonings. Fantastic on road trips if kept cool with an icepack on top.
