Is Tabbouleh salad Keto friendly?

How long does Tabbouleh salad last?

Tabbouleh can last up to 4 days in an airtight container. The tomatoes in this recipe release their juices from the salt and lemon which will start to become watery and the taste will bland out and fade. By pre-salting your tomatoes will allow them to release excess water before placing them into a salad. This step is optional if you plan to keep salad in the fridge for a week.

Can you freeze Tabbouleh's salad?

Yes, you can, but not recommended. Once the Tabbouleh salad is frozen and thawed out your salad greens and tomatoes will turn limp. They will not have a fresh crisp to them. It will also become overly watery and the bulgur will be very limp and soggy.
