Lots of fresh finely chopped Parsley is the hero of the Tabbouleh or Tabouli salad. A simple salad of bulgar wheat, parsley, finely chopped tomatoes and herbs, all tossed with lime juice and olive oil. This Mediterranean/Middle Eastern salad goes so well with so many dishes including fish, lamb, a BBQ or as part of a mezze sharing platter.
Whilst Tabbouleh is available nowadays in many supermarkets it’s a great salad to make at home adding your own twist and with your favourite ingredients. Using red onions or spring onions, lime or lemon juice? Adding mint, garlic, cucumber or lettuce. Cous cous can be used instead of bulgar wheat as well as changing the ratios to have it more or less herby, we of course think the herbier the better!
The Mediterranean Dish blog has a more herb based Tabouli recipe along with lots of tips and variations.
