In the Arab world, it is usually served as part of the mezze (appetizer) and is served with romaine lettuce. The Lebanese use more parsley than bulgur wheat in their dish. This dish is very filling and full of fiber due to the bulgur that is used.
@pinkraynedrop I agree, I love tabouleh b/c it's high in fiber

I make a massive amount at once. I almost drown it in lemon juice & add the mint, salt, lemon & oil in a cup & mix.... then pour it over it all. I dont use onions at all. I make enough to last 3 days.. depending on how much I eat each day.
I actually eat it as a meal rather than a side. I find it's a fantastic detox as it will really clean you out... and it is not filling enough that you feel bad about eating that much :)

@gaelicwolf I'm having some boxed tabouli right now and I love it. Not quite as good as the restaurant, but it will do nicely. I put tomatoes in mine too but I don't use lemon juice. I use olive oil and garlic flavored vinegar.

I'm wondering what your nationality is. I can see that you know how to make a lot of Mediterranean food, but your pronunciations of things is a little bit off in my opinion.
