Tabouleh
Description
Tabouleh features finely chopped Roma tomatoes spread out to allow their juices to gently soften the cracked wheat. The cracked wheat absorbs moisture over 20 minutes, softening its texture. Finely chopped onions are seasoned separately before combining with the tomatoes, wheat, lemon juice, parsley, and olive oil. The ingredients are tossed together then left to rest another 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
The combination yields a salad with fresh acidity from lemon, herbal notes from parsley, mild bite from onions, and the distinctive texture of softened cracked wheat. Black pepper adds subtle heat to balance the flavors. Traditionally served with barbecued meats and Lebanese bread or as an accompaniment to baked potatoes with sour cream, it complements a variety of meals.
