Tabbouleh: Will Make You Want to Shake Your Booty!

Tabbouleh is a dish prepared by many Mediterranean and Arabic countries. It is a very common food served alongside their meats at lunch or dinner. However, many Americans are starting to believe in the healthy diet consisting of eating only a salad as a main meal. This means that the Tabbouleh can make for the perfect meal.

This salad is made from a variety of different edible herbs; the kind used will sometimes vary from chef to chef. What makes it a more unique salad is how very flavor filled Tabbouleh is, which makes it a very wanted salad amongst dieters and healthy eaters, or even just as a small side dish to a nice gyro for lunch.

What Makes Tabbouleh Different?

The ingredients in Tabbouleh and how it is prepared is what makes this salad different. The main ingredients are finely chopped bulgur and parsley, and what are usually included to give it an uncommon taste are mint leaves! Mint leaves are not a very widely used herb for salads, and that is one reason it becomes different.

Another reason would be the flavor gained from the dressing made to go along with the Tabbouleh salad. The dressing is usually very simple, and consists of olive oil, salt, and lemon. Though it may not sound very unique of a dressing, once you have tasted it you will understand how the salt and citrus of the lemon react together.

Mouth Watering Good!

Most salads you think of would not make you really crave for, or even have a little mouth watering sensation. However, once you try Tabbouleh then you will actually have a salad that you wish to have more often. Quit settling for those other salads that taste good only because of the heavy dressings, and try some Tabbouleh at Kyklos Greek Café today!

Kalamata Olives: The Preferred Olive to Eat

Olives are widely eaten throughout the world, and there are many different kinds of olives that exist. Most people even love to eat olives by themselves or as a side dish, instead of being thought of as only an ingredient, such as on pizza. One of these types that are widely used for the table is Kalamata olives.

How is the Kalamata Olive Different?

The Kalamata olives are named after the city of Kalamata where they are grown, southern Greece. These Kalamata olives are twice as big as any other, and the largest in the olive family. Their size and special taste make them a very desirable finger food to have at the table. Most other olives also have a risk of having harmful chemicals seeped inside. These chemicals are used for keeping the olive fruit fly off, which the Kalamata olive tree is resistant too.

The Kalamata olive tree grows the largest olives, and also has the largest olive tree leaves. As mentioned, this special olive tree is able to resist the olive fruit fly and also the olive knot. Kalamata olives are handpicked, making them an even more special olive. The reason for this is because of their delicate bodies that would bruise very easily if picked by machinery.

These olives are not only eaten as food, but are also used to make olive oil as well. The Kalamata olive is starting to become a very popular olive oil base than the other normal brands. Sometimes when being prepped as how most olives are, the Kalamata olive can take up to three months to make them less bitter.
