Preserved Lime Tabbouleh Salad image

I found this delicious looking salad from Cooking Light May 2010 issue. The magazine states that, "Preserved citrus is a key to many Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes. Traditional recipes take weeks. Our version is ready in a few hours." They suggest serving this salad with grilled tofu steaks.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of parsley and mint in my fridge, so this salad is a great way to use them up.
