Tabbouleh

A salad of parsley — mostly parsley — with tomato, mint, spring onion and a little bulgur, dressed with lemon and olive oil.

What makes it tabbouleh

  • Parsley is the salad, not the garnish.
  • Fine bulgur, soaked, not cooked.
  • Plenty of lemon.

Where it comes from

Abroad it's often made as a grain salad flecked with green; at home in Lebanon it's the other way round, a heap of finely cut parsley with bulgur as the accent. Lebanon marks a National Tabbouleh Day each July.
