Tabbouleh

Tabbouleh is a Lebanese vegetarian salad made with parsley, tomatoes, onions, and bulgur wheat, dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. The parsley is finely chopped and is the main ingredient, giving the salad a fresh, herbaceous flavor. Tomatoes and onions are also finely diced and mixed in, adding sweetness and crunch. Bulgur wheat, a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, adds a nutty flavor and texture to the salad. The dressing, made with lemon juice and olive oil, is light and refreshing, balancing the flavors of the ingredients. It is often served as a side dish or as a topping for pita bread.
