WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Chef Gwen Gulliksen from the Glow Academy in Wilmington is sharing her recipe for Tabouli: a super simple dip recipe that is great for pita chips or with chicken or fish dishes.
To make 1-1.5 cups, first gather the following ingredients:
- 2 bunches of parsley, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- Add fresh ground pepper to taste
- A few chopped mint leaves (optional)
