Warm Chickpea and Greens Salad

Tomato Rice Pilaf

Tomato Rice Pilaf by Mary Joseph

Tabouli

Tabouli by Joanne

There isn't a side dish that offers a fresher taste than tabouli. The lemon, the parsley...they clean your mouth with garden fresh flavors. Healthy, filling and such a reward to have next to your favorite entree.

Easy Persian Rice in a Rice Cooker

Easy Persian Rice in a Rice Cooker by John Spottiswood

Admittedly, this doesn't capture the crunch outside of the normal method of making persian rice. But if you are just looking for a fluffy and buttery rice to serve with a stew or tagine, this works wonderfully and is super easy.
