Ingredients for a traditional CBD tabbouleh
To prepare a delicious traditional tabbouleh enhanced with CBD, here are the ingredients you will need:
- 200g couscous semolina
- Half a teaspoon of CBD oil
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 1 red onion
- 1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley
- 1 bunch of mint
- 1 lemon
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Preparation of CBD semolina
Step 1: Rehydrate the semolina
Start by pouring the semolina into a container large enough to mix all the ingredients. Heat some water, lightly salt it and pour it over the semolina until it is covered with about an inch of water. Leave to swell for about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Add the CBD Oil
Once the semolina has absorbed all the water and cooled slightly, add half a teaspoon of CBD oil and mix well. This will wet the semolina and thus facilitate the integration of the other ingredients. You can adjust the quantity of oil according to your convenience and the desired CBD dosage (remember that each person has a different sensitivity to CBD).
Prepare the vegetables and herbs
Step 1: Cut the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes
Wash and dry the tomatoes and cucumber. Cut them into small cubes of around half a centimeter and set aside.
Step 2: Finely chop the red onion and herbs
Peel and finely chop the red onion. Also wash the flat-leaf parsley and mint, then remove the stems, leaving only the leaves. Then chop them finely enough so that they can mix well with the rest of the ingredients.
Assemble traditional CBD tabbouleh
Step 1: Incorporate the vegetables and herbs into the semolina
Add the diced tomatoes, cucumber, chopped onion and chopped herbs to your semolina prepared with CBD oil. Mix everything well so that the flavors mix and the vegetables are well distributed in the semolina. Do not hesitate to use a fork, this will make mixing easier and will prevent the semolina from forming clumps.
Step 2: Season and finish preparing the tabbouleh
To perfect the flavors of your traditional CBD tabbouleh, season it with salt, pepper and generously drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (don’t worry if the quantity seems large, it will be quickly absorbed by the ingredients and will help give a soft texture to your tabbouleh). Finally, squeeze the lemon and add its juice to the dish for an extra touch of freshness.

Your traditional CBD tabbouleh is ready! We recommend letting it rest in the refrigerator for a few hours before tasting., so that the flavors develop and the dish is very fresh. For an even more delicious side dish, you can prepare homemade falafel or chicken skewers marinated in spices.
