Tabbouli, originally from Lebanon, tabbouleh has become one of the most popular salads in the Middle East. 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. Ingredients 2 large tomatoes or 2 Cups Diced tomatoes 1 cup chopped green onion 4 cups chopped parsley flat leaf 1 cup yellow onion chopped 5-8 leaves fresh mint 1/4 cup bulgar 1 tsp dry mint 1 tsp salt 1/2 Cup lemon juice 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper Directions Rinse bulgar in a bowl and poor off excess water, let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse and finely chop parsley and fresh mint leaves and place in a bowl. Add chopped tomato, green onion, yellow onion, and soaked bulgar and combine with parsley. In a separate small bowl combine salt, dry mint, lemon juice, olive oil and cayenne pepper then add to parsley mixture and let sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow bulgar to absorb some of the dressing. Serve with chicken or meat or by it's self. Also, can be served in individual leaves of lettuce as an appetizer.

I agree, I love tabouleh b/c it's high in fiber
By: dedemed
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 :)

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.
By: NottaVictim
sounds interesting but still good. Great job making it the way you like ;)
By: dedemed
I put chickpeas in mine.
