Tabbouleh Wrapped in Romaine Leaves image

You can skip the preserved lemons(the salad will be just as good)! But be adventurous! Take time to finely cut all the vegies (confettied)! Serve as an appetizer, salad, side dish or main meal.

The romaine leaves were a bit tough. I think I would have liked it more if I had wilted them first.

The tabbouleh was a bit dry. I think I would have liked it more if I had used more olive oil or lemon juice.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more herbs or spices.

The tabbouleh was easy to make and the instructions were clear. I used a food processor to chop the vegetables, which saved me a lot of time. The tabbouleh turned out great and the romaine leaves were a perfect way to serve it.
