Tabbouleh is a semolina-based salad that originated in the Middle East. This flavorful dish, especially popular during warm weather, now comes in an original version combining the therapeutic benefits of cannabidiol (CBD). Discover how to prepare your own traditional CBD tabbouleh to delight your taste buds while enjoying the relaxing properties of this molecule. Ingredients needed for traditional CBD tabbouleh: 250g couscous 300ml boiling water 3 tomatoes
1 red or white onion
- 1 cucumber
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley
- 1 bunch of fresh mint
- 80ml CBD-infused olive oil
- 80ml lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- Optional:
- Dried and ground CBD flowers
- Goji berries, raisins, or dried apricots
- Note that using CBD-infused olive oil is essential for this recipe. If you don’t have any, you can use regular olive oil mixed with pure CBD oil, dosed according to your needs. Be sure to choose a legally authorized CBD oil or CBD flowers with a low THC content.
Preparing the semolina:
- Start by pouring the semolina into a large bowl and adding boiling water. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it soak for about 10 minutes. Then, use a fork to gently fluff the semolina to obtain a light and airy texture. Refrigerate while preparing the other ingredients.
- Chopping the vegetables:
Wash your tomatoes and cucumber thoroughly under cold water. Slice the onion into thin strips. Dice the tomatoes, removing the seeds. Dice the cucumber in the same way as the tomatoes, but without removing the seeds. Next, add the chopped vegetables to the cooled semolina. Gently mix everything together to avoid crushing the tomato and cucumber pieces. Chopping and Incorporating the Herbs
Wash the parsley and mint under cold water, drain them well, and dry them with a clean cloth. Once the herbs are completely dry, chop them finely and gently fold them into the semolina and vegetable mixture.
Optional: Adding CBD Flowers
If desired, you can also add CBD flowers, either ground into a powder or purchased from a shop specializing in these ingredients. This will not only give the dish a different flavor but also enhance the CBD content. Mix the ground dried CBD flowers well into the mixture to ensure even distribution.
Seasoning Traditional CBD Tabbouleh
To create this original recipe, consider the flavors of the Middle East. Marinated green and black olives, cooked chickpeas, and Romanesco cheese curls are among the classic ingredients that elevate your tabbouleh.
In a bowl, combine the CBD-infused olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper to season thoroughly. Whisk lightly to create a smooth dressing and then add it to your tabbouleh salad. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients and let the CBD tabbouleh rest in the refrigerator for one or two hours before serving. This allows the salad to absorb all the flavors, from the fresh vegetables to the fragrant herbs.
Optional: Add dried fruitTo add a touch of sweetness to your traditional CBD tabbouleh recipe, you can include goji berries, raisins, or dried apricots.
Although not part of the original recipe, these dried fruits add an interesting contrast and pair beautifully with the dish’s freshness.
