Tabbouleh Salad

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a Levantine Lebanese salad traditionally made of bulgur wheat, tomatoes, parsley, mint and onion, and seasoned with olive oil and lime juice. It is very nutritious and surprisingly delicious. I made a large plate of this salad and finished it in one sitting, that’s how good it is.. It will also make a great side dish.
