Tabouli Oh Ya !!!!!
Little pieces of garlic and mint talking with each other while they cruise around between the grains on a river of olive oil, now that is yaking Tabouli. Black pepper teams up with lemon juice painting a tangy and spiced collage with a parsley paint brush. It all becomes a symphony of flavor to excite your senses and please your guests. Experiment with different olive oils.
Tabouli on top of a great tossed salad with chopped walnuts.Tabouli in pita pockets with smoked turkey and cheese, Tabouli at a picnic, Tabouli and Humus served with carrot sticks, celery slices and pita pieces are a great snack when hanging out with the family or friends.
Even with olive oil drenching every little bulgar grain the calories tabouli has are minimal and the goodness is great.

Some of my favorites include tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and cilantro, I'm always open to finding new ways to include them into foods. Bulgar is the perfect base to start with and then I pile on the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and cilantro. Of course you will have to adjust and tweak this recipe to fit your taste.

- I have never read a more inviting review of a food item....totally inviting, I hear the garlic and mint talking back and forth as they cruised around the bulgar wheat riding the river of olive oil. My sister loves Tabouli and says that she actually feels better immediately after eating it. She had a Lebanese friend that introduced her to it years ago but it wasn't love at first bite but it became a favorite.
