Tabouli either known as tabbouli or tabbouleh is a delicious Lebanese salad known worldwide. It is a healthy, light salad made with bulgur wheat, ripe tomatoes, fresh parsley, fresh mint, green onions and drizzled with lemon juice and olive oil. The main role is played by fresh flat parsley. So don’t try to use less parsley, it is the star of this salad.
Tabouli is best served chilled, as a side dish alongside falafel or hummus, with pita bread or as we did with pita bread chips. Wrapped in lettuce leaves makes a wonderful and colorful appetizer.
Tabouli is so easy to prepare and so fresh and flavorful, the mint and parsley are making such a good combination. You may use more or less lemon juice according to your tastes, I suggest to add the dressing gradually and see for yourself what quantities work best for you. Give it a try, it is a wonderful salad 🙂
