I grew up in a Norwegian family in Eastern South Dakota with a town full of Norwegians and one fried who's grandmother immigrated from Syria in the 1920's and she made some really awesome Mediterranean foods for us kids. Back in the 70's and early 80's nobody where I grew up was eating salad unless it was iceberg with one of two dressing. That never appealed to me but Mrs. Hembree's Tabouli I was always up for. I found a recipe a couple years ago that I really liked and you could substitute several different grains into it if you liked. It's the one salad/dish that I always knew what to do with parsley from the grocery store after I used maybe one or two sprigs for another recipe. Easy on the stomach and finely chopped it settles pretty easy for me when it comes to getting my green leafy veggies in. It really goes good as green side with a meat or fish main course.
