Tabouli, tabbouleh, tabbuleh or tabouleh is a vegetarian salad of the eastern Mediterranean region. It is a salad made with lots of finely chopped fresh parsley, tomatoes, mint, green onions, bulgur, tossed with olive oil and lemon juice.
This is a popular salad in the Levantine region. Often referred to as being of Lebanese origin but I have tried several variations of it in the homes of people who come from that area.
Interestingly, there is a Turkish variation that uses more bulgur, is more red in color due to some tomato paste added to it. Personally I enjoy all the variations which fit with different moods and palates.
