Salad Ingredients:
1 cup freekeh

400ml canned chickpeas
3 mini cucumbers
15g parsley
10g mint

2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
pickled red onions to serve

Dressing Ingredients:

1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp tahini

Impressed! Freekeh is one of the great main dishes that we cook in Lebanon and the Arab world, with lamb stock or vegetable stock if you are vegetarian! Mixed with Tahini and Zaatar, all the best ingredients from the true authentic Mediterranean food!

Will never ceases to inspire me, he is THE BEST!🤗

Yummo! Imagine cold leftovers packed into pitas. Amazing genius recipe, as always, the best to you.😊

[inolagranville]

I live in a foreign country so a lot of these ingredients I couldn’t find nor do they have them here but I enjoy your cooking show and anytime I can find a recipe that I can actually get the ingredients. Always anxious to try it. Thank you.

[doodahgurlie]

Love it! It's a mix of tabbouleh (made with freekeh instead of bulgur) and Israeli salad, plus other ingredients.

Quinoa is my favorite ingredient. I'll try the recipe with absolute confidence👍 Thank you chef🙏❤

[cleonecarter-smith]

[blakecardenas]

This looks amazing. Absolutely the type of easy fresh meals I want to start making

[vivette]

I won't cook yhe recipes but just watching you cook is so refreshing

So i have just made and eaten this delicious meal. I discovered freekah recently and it became my favourite grain. I had a few alterations using coriander instead of parsley and picked mint fresh from the garden. I eat oil free so omitted the olive oil and added some water to the dressing and instead I used italian mixed dried herbs and i did not have any pomegranate availabke. I make red onion in vinegar and i always have it available and would never have put it with this dish but it was gorgeous. The dressing just brings it all together. Thankyou!

❤❤❤❤❤
Not only do I admire your videos, I admire how you live your purpose.

I haven't used freekeh, but we do have buckwheat groats in the pantry which I imagine would have a similar effect. There are also other grains/seeds that work well as the base of a salad, so if you've ever cooked too much it's a great way to use them up. The dressing sounds fabulous 👌 and pomegranate seeds provide a delightful pop of sweetness in a salad, as do chopped dried apricots or dates. Combining different flavours and textures like this is a delight for the palate! Thanks, Will 🙏

Thank you for expanding my knowledge of food and keeping it interesting!

[bernaguvenc]

All your recipes are so nutritious and, just watching you prepare is therapy at home😍 Thank you💙.
I will use "bulgur rice"- Turkish cracked wheat-" instead of freekeh ( what I have at hand) and add marinated black olives( oil+ oregano/thyme) and even pickled beets for more color....all personal choices😍
