Yum! We love tabouleh, and this is no exception! The only change was not using the romaine lettuce, instead serving directly on the plate. Delicious! The leftovers are great, too! I've had it for lunch a couple of times now, and then again at dinner tonight. Love, love, love it! Thanks for sharing...Reply

We love tabbouleh and bulgur wheat as well. It's one of my go-to dishes at my favorite Mediteranean/Middle Eastern restaurant. It's so good for you; especially the parsley. This recipe is a wonderful tabbouleh dish -- absolutely love the dressing; although I only used 1/4 c olive oil. We really like it lemony. I also added some cubed English cucumber. Definitely going on my Best Of list for Susie's World Tour - Morocco.1Reply

Very tasty version of this famous dish. I liked the idea of placing the tabooleh in a lettuce leaf to eat!Reply
