Authentic Lebanese Tabbouleh | Fresh, Healthy, Delicious Salad 🥗

Hi everybody! Welcome back to Marie's Kitchen! I'm so glad you're here! Today we're making Tabbouleh ("ta-boo-ley"), a fresh and healthy salad traditional in Lebanese cuisine. My husband says this recipe is "just like his grandmother used to make." 🥰 The ingredients include parsley, mint, green onions, tomatoes, lemon, olive oil, and fine bulgur wheat. Bulgur is a common ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine and has a light, nutty flavor. You can find it on Amazon or at your local Mediterranean market. The bulgur in this recipe is called fine bulgur or #1 fine bulgur. Fine bulgur is par-cooked and only requires soaking before adding to the salad. (To boost flavor, we soak the bulgur in the lemon juice and olive oil rather than warm water.) If you use a coarse bulgur, be sure to follow instructions on the package for cooking and draining. Although Tabbouleh does require quite a bit of chopping, it's worth the effort and keeps well in the fridge for 4-5 days. Serve alongside grilled meat or fish, or keep things vegetarian with hummus, baba ganoush, labne and pita bread. Delicious! I can't wait for you to try this one!
