Tabbouleh (or Tabbule) is not an Arabic Salad it is a Lebanese salad. For it is one of the signature dishes of Lebanon (I am Lebanese). It is not one of my favorite dishes, but I think regular onions do much better than green onions in Tabbouleh. I would not recommend vegetable oil for Tabbouleh either, the olive oil gives it a much richer taste. Putting the Borghol (or Bulgur) without soaking it can create a great effect of crunchiness. Another alternative to eat Tabbouleh with is cabbage instead of lettuce or even Lebanese bread. It is a great side dish with poultry and meat, extremely nutritious as you put in your description.Replies 1
