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.

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 ...
