Lebanese Tabbouleh Salad

Since I am still detoxing my body after the Easter holidays, I thought I should share a Lebanese salad recipe my sister used to make all the time and which I started to make after tasting it. It's a very easy to make salad, affordable and very healthy making it a perfect spring salad.

What you need is:

-3-4 big bunches of parsley
-3 tomatoes
-1 red onion
