1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

Lemon Vinaigrette

2/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Once the fonio is cooled and in a large bowl and combine with all the other ingredients.

Fonio Tabbouleh Salad

If you know me you already know how much I love fonio! So it's no surprise that I would use it in my tabbouleh!

This tabbouleh has all the traditional ingredients I've come to love but instead of bulgar I've added fonio. It's a super nutrient dense and delicious way to enjoy it!
