Tabouli

This recipe is authentically & traditionally Lebanese. Its healthy and lovely to eat on those hot summer days. Best to have it wrapped up in Lettuce leaves than bread. Its so refreshing. No Tabouli salad should contain garlic, peppers, vinegar, mint, scallions or cucumber. Please note the crushed wheat should never overpower the parsley.
