PRESERVED LIME TABBOULEH SALAD

Preserved Lime Tabbouleh Salad image

I found this delicious looking salad from Cooking Light May 2010 issue. The magazine states that, "Preserved citrus is a key to many Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes. Traditional recipes take weeks. Our version is ready in a few hours." They suggest serving this salad with grilled tofu steaks.
