Lebanese Tabbouleh Salad

Tabbouleh is more than a salad — it’s a celebration of fresh herbs and Mediterranean balance. At its heart is parsley, a nutritional powerhouse packed with vitamin K for bone health, vitamin C for immune support, and potent antioxidants that help combat inflammation. The addition of bulgur wheat brings fiber and slow-digesting carbohydrates, while tomatoes and green onions add lycopene and quercetin, compounds studied for cardiovascular and anti-inflammatory benefits. Dressed simply with olive oil and lemon juice, this dish embodies the Mediterranean way of eating: simple ingredients, powerful health benefits, and flavors that are bright, refreshing, and deeply satisfying.

Notes

Tabbouleh is herb-forward—not a bulgur salad—so use plenty of parsley and mint. Finely chopping (not processing) herbs with a sharp knife preserves freshness and texture. Taste evolves over time—chill it and serve after flavors have mellowed; excellent for make-ahead meals. For a gluten-free version, substitute cooked quinoa for bulgur.
