Tabbouleh is a Middle Eastern salad traditionally made with parsley, tomatoes, onion, mint, bulgur wheat, and olive oil. This version of the salad, however, swaps out bulgur wheat for pineapple and pomegranate seeds. The result is a refreshing, non-traditional take on the classic dish that's perfect for summer. The pineapple adds juiciness and sweetness, while the pomegranate seeds give a zingy pop of flavor. This salad is perfect on its own or as a side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

2.Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad.
3.Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

5.Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
