Tabouli Salad
This delightful salad, originating from Lebanon (or Syria, depending on who you ask ????), has the remarkable ability to enhance any dish it accompanies. The combination of vibrant, fresh herbs, sweet tomatoes, and a tangy lemon dressing creates a salad that is akin to a revitalizing breath of fresh air. We adore piling it generously on baked salmon, serving it alongside flavorful chicken meatballs, or even tucking it into a homemade falafel sandwich (trust us, it's absolutely amazing!).
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. fine bulgar wheat
