Tabbouleh is a flavorful and refreshing Lebanese salad that has earned its place as a global favorite. This simple yet vibrant dish combines fresh ingredients for a delightful blend of textures and tastes.
The key to its authentic flavor lies in using fragrant parsley, juicy tomatoes, and a tangy dressing. Perfect for any meal, Tabbouleh is as healthy as it is delicious.
Choose fine bulgur wheat, which softens quickly and maintains a slightly crunchy texture.
Soak the bulgur in plenty of room-temperature water for 5-10 minutes.
Ensure it stays slightly crunchy and doesn’t become overly soft.
Wash and finely chop the parsley, transfer it to a large salad bowl.
Dice the green onions and add them to the bowl.
Cut the tomatoes into cubes and mix them with the parsley and onion.
Drain the soaked bulgur thoroughly and add it to the bowl.
Finely chop the fresh mint (or use dried mint) and combine it with the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil.
Pour this dressing over the salad.
Adjust the seasoning to taste with additional salt, olive oil, or lemon juice, if needed.
Enjoy your Tabbouleh salad!
