I'm not a huge fan of tabbouleh, but this recipe changed my mind. The bulgur was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. The lemon-tahini dressing was also delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This tabbouleh salad is the perfect summer dish. It's light and refreshing, and it's packed with fresh vegetables. I love the way the lemon-tahini dressing brightens up the flavors. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This tabbouleh salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party, and it was even better the next day. The flavors had really had a chance to meld together. I highly recommend this salad.

This tabbouleh salad is a great way to use up leftover bulgur. It's also a healthy and delicious side dish. I love the combination of bulgur, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and parsley. The lemon-tahini dressing is also very good.

This tabbouleh salad was a disappointment. The bulgur was undercooked, and the vegetables were bland. The lemon-tahini dressing was also too sour. I would not recommend this recipe.
