Tabbouleh

Description

Tabbouleh is also known as tabouleh, tabbouli, tabouli is a Levantine vegetarian salad traditionally made of finely tomato, parsley or cilantro, mint, spring onion and bulger wheat seasoned with salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. This is quite popular Mediterranean salad which takes little time for preparation and is extremely healthy and tasty.   In some places, finely chopped cucumber, minced garlic, lettuce or couscous is also been used in this recipe. In this recipe, I have used coarse bulger or Dalia or Broken wheat instead of fine bulger and Cilantro leaves instead of Parsley.  Fine bulger does not require hot water for soaking.
