Best 5 Lebanese Herb Salad Recipes
LEBANESE HERB SALAD
I found this on the web and adapted it to make a fabulous salad. I would never have thought of putting cinnamon in a dressing but it really works here. I have sometimes left the mint out and just increased the amount of the two other herbs.

LEBANESE TABBOULEH
We think of tabbouleh as a bulgur salad with lots of parsley and mint. But real Lebanese tabbouleh is a lemony herb salad with a little bit of fine bulgur, an edible garden that you can scoop up with romaine lettuce heart leaves or simply eat with a fork.

Steps:
- Place the bulgur in a bowl, and cover with water by 1/2 inch. Soak for 20 minutes, until slightly softened. Drain through a cheesecloth-lined strainer, and press the bulgur against the strainer to squeeze out excess water. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with the garlic, lemon juice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, scallions and salt. Leave at room temperature or in the refrigerator for two to three hours, so that the bulgur can continue to absorb liquid and swell.
- Add the olive oil, toss together, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with lettuce leaves.

LEBANESE-STYLE BREAD SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND HERBS
Ripe tomatoes, cool cucumbers and toasted pita bread, or Middle-Eastern bread salad. To be completely authentic, this Lebanese dish that is served in various forms across the region should also contain a sprinkling of reddish powdered sumac, which has a sour, lemony flavor and is available from good spice merchants. Fresh purslane, a slightly sour green succulent plant, is also traditional to the dish. You can sometimes get it at farmers markets, or find it growing wild. (It volunteers itself in most vegetable gardens.) But neither is required.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs. This will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Chop the herbs finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
- Add the herbs to the salad just before serving. This will prevent them from wilting.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavors of the herbs.
- Serve the salad immediately. Lebanese herb salad is best enjoyed fresh.
Conclusion:
Lebanese herb salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give Lebanese herb salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
