Tabbouleh

The Good Food Glossary

Pronounce it: tab-oo-lay

Originally from Lebanon, but now popular throughout the Middle East, tabbouleh is a salad made from bulghur wheat (tender, chewy wheat kernels that have been steamed, dried and crushed), tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, olive oil and lemon juice. It is served cold with a crisp bread or sometimes with cos lettuce leaves, which are used to scoop it up.
