Tabouleh

Tabbouleh, or “mixed vegetables,” is made all over the Middle East and North Africa. Chefs mix different types of vegetables and greens with bulgur or couscous into one dish and serve. The salad is dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. The grains are cooked until almost done, and only a little is added to the tabbouleh, just enough to support the whole mountain of herbs and absorb the life-giving juices of the vegetables. Real tabbouleh is an explosion of green!

Tabouleh - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, quinoa is a great gluten-free substitute for bulgur. Cook it as per package instructions and let it cool before mixing with other ingredients for a similar texture and flavor.
Tabouleh stays fresh in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best results, store it without dressing and add lemon juice and olive oil just before serving.
Traditional tabouleh is carb-heavy due to bulgur. For a low-carb version, replace bulgur with finely chopped cauliflower or increase the proportion of herbs and vegetables.
Freezing tabouleh is not recommended as the fresh vegetables and herbs will lose their texture and become soggy upon thawing.
Tabouleh pairs well with grilled meats, falafel, or hummus. Serve it as a side dish, in a pita pocket, or atop a bed of greens for a light meal.
Enhance flavor by adding minced garlic, a pinch of cumin, or chopped mint leaves. Letting the salad sit for 30 minutes before serving allows flavors to meld.
Yes, tabouleh can be prepped a few hours ahead. Keep it refrigerated and add the dressing just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
Use a very sharp knife and a rocking motion to finely chop parsley. Avoid over-chopping to prevent bruising the leaves, which can make them bitter.
Absolutely! Diced bell peppers, red onions, or even pomegranate seeds can add color, crunch, and extra nutrients to your tabouleh.
