Preparing your CBD tabbouleh, step by step
Whether it's for a friendly summer dinner or to soothe your tired body in the middle of the week, CBD tabbouleh is ALWAYS a good idea!
Preparing the semolina
Pour the semolina into a large bowl and cover with hot water (or follow the manufacturer's specific instructions). Let sit until the water is completely absorbed and the semolina is soft. Then fluff it with a fork to avoid clumps.
Little tip: for a more aromatic semolina, add a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt to the cooking water.
Add the vegetables and herbs
Once the semolina is ready and cooled, add the tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, parsley, and mint. Mix gently so that the flavors combine.
Chef's secret: fresh herbs are the key to a successful tabbouleh! Play with the proportions of parsley and mint for a tabbouleh that awakens the senses. The more there are, the more fragrant your tabbouleh will be!
Seasoning and adding CBD oil
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and CBD oil. Whisk lightly to emulsify the vinaigrette which you will pour over the semolina and vegetable mixture. Stir well so that each ingredient is coated with the seasoning.
The chef's secret: introduce the CBD oil gradually and taste as you go. You will be able to adjust the dosage according to your preference and ensure that the taste remains pleasant and balanced.
Rest, the secret ingredient for a good CBD tabbouleh
For a succulent CBD tabbouleh full of the benefits of the hemp plant, patience is essential! Let the tabbouleh rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, a resting time that allows the flavors to infuse and the semolina to soak up the vinaigrette. Yes, a good CBD tabbouleh is worth it!
The chef's secret : for an even fresher tabbouleh, serve on a bed of lettuce leaves or accompany with slices of lemon.
