    Made for a socially distance bday party—very well received! Two cups of bulgur makes a huge amount. Two friends requested recipe.

    This was wonderful and it has been requested over and over again. A friend of Lebanese descent said it was as good as his mother's.

    I have tried several taboullah recipes and this one has inspired me more than the others. I say that because nearly every recipe I have tried includes the same basic ingredients.

    Good! Would recommend using less salt and then increasing the amount per your taste. The two bunches of green onions called for also seems a little excessive to me--I'd start with 1/2 cup (finely chopped) and then add more if you like onions. :)

    This made A LOT! I was shocked. It was my first time making tabbouleh and I wasn't sure what to expect. It is a lovely fresh tasting salad. A couple of holes in the recipe though that I had to fill in. Like the cucumbers. I wasn't sure what kind I was supposed to use. - Read more ...
