The first time I came to Lebanon
I asked myself what going on
People lived day and night
Nobody wanted to fight
Talking and eating
Laughing, still eating
Always eating with happiness
I'll never forget, I promess
You can't eat lebanese food without eating tabbouleh. It goes well with all the dishes, and it's so magic as it's doing good for body and mind. The recipe is really easy, but you have to be patient, to finely chop the parsley and the mint, and cut all the ingredients.
For a salad bowl for 10 persons :
2 bottles of mint
3 bottles of parsley
7 tomatoes
3 red onions
2 little cucumbers
1 cup of bulgur
the juice of two lemons
1 cup of olive oil
salt
You can put bulgur, olive oil, salt and lemon juice in the salad bowl.
Then you cut the tomatoes, the cucumbers and the onions in small cubes and put it all in the salad bowl.
Now you can chop the parsley and the mint, with a knife or a chisel. Please don't mix to save time, because if you mix the plants, they won't have a good taste. You keep the freshness when you do all with your hand.
You can put it all in the salad bowl and stir.
Go to the fridge for 4 hours, stirring every hour.
Enjoy your meal

Hello,
Tabbouleh is a dish I really enjoy eating in the summer. I'm writing down your recipe because it's vegetarian, and I'm a vegetarian myself. Plus, I love bulgur!
I love tabbouleh and this recipe is a real treat. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Hello, I wonder if you have already tried to put red peppers instead of tomatoes. I'm thinking of something to replace the tomatoes. The red pepper might be too dry . Do you think the cucumber would bring enough moisture for the whole dish? Well, I suppose it won't be a tabbouleh anymore without the tomatoes though.
