How to make tabbouleh with tuna . Today I bring you a salad with couscous tuned and tuna, for what is modified and adapted and for tuna among its ingredients.

It is an adaptation of the traditional recipe of Arab cuisine, the tabbouleh , this time supplemented with the odd ingredient, including tuna, a tabbouleh with tuna .

Tabouleh is a salad typical of many Middle Eastern countries, very popular in Syria, Lebanon or Jordan, traditionally called Lebanese salad. Starting from the basic ingredients, couscous, tomato, onion, lemon and a lot of parsley , we can get an equally fresh and summery salad incorporating the odd ingredient.

The incorporation of canned tuna , if it is homemade better than better, together with cucumber and peppers, makes this totally Mediterranean salad, a complete dish that could perfectly go from being a simple accompaniment to becoming a main dish or even a single dish.

I advise you that, if we use tuna in olive oil, we take advantage of that oil to dress the salad, it will provide a fat point of immense flavor that we can not waste.
