tabbouleh

Lebanese bulgur salad

Tabbouleh is a Middle Eastern salad made primarily of finely chopped parsley, bulgur wheat, tomatoes, mint, onion, and dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.

The herb-forward dish originated in Lebanon and Syria, where parsley dominates rather than grain: We ordered hummus and tabbouleh as appetizers.

Also spelled tabouli or tabouleh.
