My favourite salad by far and one that I make on a regular basis as it’s so quick yet so tasty. Traditionally this Middle Eastern dish is made with bulgar or cracked wheat but here I have used buckwheat as I like to use up the grains I have in the cupboard. Mildly spiced and an abundance of fresh herbs and a variety of textures and flavours make this colourful dish so appealing. Add anything you have to hand such as radishes, cucumber, to create your own unique tabbouleh.

This is one of the dishes prepared by my Lebanese friend. While it's troublesome to chop the parsley, I take the extra effort since I want to eat this tasty dish. According to my Lebanese and Syrian friends, American-style tabbouleh has too much bulghur. They imagine it's because it's too much trouble to chop the parsley! They even say that there's too much bulghur in my tabbouleh shown in the photo.Even though it takes extra effort, chop the parsley, mint, and green onion. Using a food processor will give the wrong taste and texture. The final product has a tendency to get watery, so be sure to thoroughly drain the excess water from the bulghur. Adjust the amount of tomatoes to taste. If using regular sized tomatoes, it's best to remove the seeds. It also tastes good with chopped cucumbers. Recipe by Mama Imani

This is Lebanese style (parsley dominates), and unlike what is commonly found in supermarkets here in the U.S. it's a very refreshing salad and is perfect for warmer months. It's also a great salad to be eaten between other entrees and will help cleanse the palate!

I love quinoa and so I'm always trying to find different ways of using it. I love this in place of bulgar in Tabbouleh.

Tabbouleh is a traditional Arab salad made with bulgur, which is cracked wheat that has been partially cooked. In this version, I used quinoa. I love it served with grilled chicken breast.

Fresh parsley, fresh mint and onions are very finely chopped and mixed with diced tomatoes and bulgur and seasoned with an abundant lemon and olive oil dressing. The most famous Lebanese salad, the pride of our culinary heritage!

Tabbouleh is a traditional Lebanese dish found on every table. The decoration was done by my husband, a decoration engineer. I hope you like it.

Soooo good.

Preparing tabbouleh with pomegranate molasses adds a rich flavor to the mix of parsley, mint, tomatoes, onions, and bulgur. Try it out.
