Tabbouleh

Tabbouleh is the perfect side dish for pairing with any Middle Eastern meal, but also excellent for meal prep lunches! With lots of herbs, fresh vegetables, and bulgur, it’s packed with flavour.
Tabbouleh (sometimes also spelled tabouli) is a traditional Mediterranean dish made with chopped parsley, tomatoes, mint, and bulgur wheat dressed in olive oil, lemon juice, and spices. The mint and parsley give tabbouleh a refreshing, herbaceous flavour, making it a fantastic accompaniment to dishes like beet falafel and vegan kofta, or as part of a meze platter with spicy roasted red pepper hummus.

Gets better and better. Some leftovers are a disappointment the next day, but tabbouleh tastes even better after a day or two because the flavours really meld during this time. This makes it great for meal prep!
Packed with fresh ingredients. Tabbouleh is so fantastically fresh and flavourful—all those herbs make it taste like nothing else you’ve ever had!
