Authentic Tabbouleh Salad: So Mediterranean!
Because our Grandmother is Iranian, we often have this refreshing, flavor-packed salad! It’s reminiscent of Greek Salad, but heartier and very easy! Give bulgar wheat a try. . . it absorbs the flavors that surround it, and has a nutty, chewy texture that is soul satisfying!
