Thanks for the recipe. I love tabouleh and most Middle Eastern food. I can tell your recipe is gonna be good but I don’t like that much mint so I will keep it light on that ingredient.
: )

I love it with hummus in a wrap. Soo good!!!

The Tabouleh I know is a Minced Flat Leaf Parsley Garlic Salad with Bulghur and Tomato rather than a Bulghur Parsley Salad. In other words it is more Parsley than Wheat. Most Americans get that proportion reversed for some reason.
In the Middle East it is seasoned with really excellent Olive Oil — an emerald green one with real olive flavor — and freshly squeezed Lemon Juice, Sea Salt. And that is all. .It is usually served with Hummus and Dolmas, or Ylanchi Sarma, Red Onion Wedges and Pita and Kalamata or Alphonso Olives. Yum!

That sounds great, I think I’ll try it tonight! Thanks ;D

My dad used to make this when I was a kid. I have wanted to try it, but could not find the cracked wheat for it. I know he must have gotten it at the plain old grocery store! Where/what aisle is the cracked wheat on? They used to sometimes sell little bags of it in the produce section, but I have not been able to find it? I would love to make it. Thanks.

I like tabouleh as well, I just can’t seem to get into it if it’s by itself. But wrapped in a pita with some hummus and grilled veggies and it’s fantastic. Middle Eastern foods are my 2nd favorite, for sure. Right after Mexican :)

Yay! Have a great Saturday, everyone :)

Thanks for the recipe. I love it with plenty of mint. I’ve never made it before.

That’s an awesome recipe!!! Thank you so much. I discovered Tabouli about two years ago and truly enjoy it. It’s been a welcome addition to my diet:)

Tabouli is also tasty made with millet or quinoa or cous-cous or orzo pasta instead of bulghur. In France, they make this odd tabouli out of cous-cous, mixed cooked vegetables (often frozen vegetables), a little bit of parsley, and a vinaigrette dressing. It’s not authentic, but it’s a pretty good, inexpensive everyday salad.
