Easy and quick spin on Tabouli – takes 5 minutes to whip up!

Great as a side to pan roasted barramundi or salmon then drizzled with extra lime or lemon.

What’s good about it:
Broccoli is full of alkalinising, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer phytonutrients called sulforaphane that work to support optimum health and protect against disease.

Pistachios are high in the minerals potassium and magnesium to help nourish the nervous system when under stress.

Avocado is heart healthy and anti-inflammatory to the body and can nourish the immune system and reduce symptoms of arthritis and depression.

Lime and black pepper helps aid digestion and  the goji berries add extra antioxidants and a lovely hint of sweetness that’s great in this salad.
