This was good. A bit to much mint for my taste. I like the balance of lemon and oil here as opposed to other versions that have up to 3/4 cup olive oil! UNNECESSARY! 1/2ed the recipe with no problem. Definitely let this sit in the fridge a while before serving. Mine was def better the next day :)

This is a very tasty tabbouleh! I used a little less mint, otherwise ade as directed. Thanks for posting this easy-to-make recipe! Made for the Top Favorites of 2009 event

I loved this recipe too! Only have used boxed version in the past and it's not nearly as nice. I also add a can of chick peas and it's sensational; also substituted the scallion with finely chopped red onion.

Tasted great. Subbed in red onions for scallions. And I love tart flavors so I added a bit more lemon.

This is so beautiful and tastes so wonderful! Admittedly, I've never made tabbouleh from scratch, I've always used the boxed kind that you add water to, and if I'd have known how much better this is, and how simple it is, I'd have been making it from scratch all along! I used both yellow and red tomatoes for colour. Delish!!! Thanks, KB, for a definate keeper! Made for Veg*n Swap 12.
