LEBANESE STYLE TABOULI
My family thinks that Emily's Lebanese Deli in Minneapolis has the best tabouli. I found this recipe on a blog by MoiFrey (http://diningchezmoi.blogspot.com/2006/08/my-favorite-tabouli-tabouli-is.html) She worked on it for years and claimed to be like Emily's - it's a winner! I use my own method of draining and fluffing the bulgar and the results seem to be just fine. (See blog for original method.)

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your tabbouleh will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley. The bulgur should also be fresh and not too old.
- Soak the bulgur in cold water before using: This will help to soften the bulgur and make it more palatable. Be sure to rinse the bulgur thoroughly before adding it to the salad.
- Chop the vegetables finely: The vegetables in tabbouleh should be chopped very finely so that they are easy to eat. A sharp knife or a food processor can be used to do this.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: The dressing for tabbouleh should be light and flavorful, not overpowering. Use just enough dressing to coat the salad ingredients.
- Chill the tabbouleh before serving: Tabbouleh is best served chilled. This will help to keep the salad fresh and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Tabbouleh is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With its vibrant colors and flavors, tabbouleh is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
