Did You Know? Tabbouleh dates back over 4,000 years to the mountains of Lebanon, where people first began mixing wild herbs and grains into refreshing meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp fine brown bulgur
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 3 green onions
  • 3 sprigs fresh mint
  • 1 tomato
  • Pomegranate molasses, to taste
  • Olive oil, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a bowl, add the fine bulgur and squeeze the juice of both lemons over it. Let it sit for a few minutes, so the bulgur softens and soaks up the citrus flavor.
  2. Finely chop the parsley, green onions, and mint.
  3. Dice the tomato into small cubes.
  4. Add the mint, green onions, and diced tomato to the bowl.
  5. Drizzle in pomegranate molasses and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the chopped parsley last to keep it fresh and vibrant.
  7. Mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve fresh and chilled for the best flavor.

    For those who are gluten free, my Lebanese mother replaces the cracked wheat with red lentils.

    Best when eaten with lettuce or grape leaves (as per my Lebanese father) ❤️ Tabbouli can make a salad fan out of people who don’t even like parsley. It’s just the best. And even better on days 2, 3 etc.
