Steps:
- If you have time, thoroughly rinse the parsley (3 bunches) the night before. Wrap it in paper towels and place it in the fridge. This will make the tabouleh EXTRA crisp! If you don't have time to rinse the night before, be sure to get the parsley as dry as possible.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil (1/3 cup), lemon juice (2/3 cup), salt (1 teaspoon) and pepper (1 teaspoon).
- Add cracked bulgur (1/2 cup) to the lemon juice/olive oil and let it sit for 30 minutes - 1 hour, depending on how soft you want the bulgur to be. (I usually do this for 30 minutes while I'm chopping everything else)
- Pick the leaves from the stems of the parsley. I do this by grabbing the bunch of parsley and sliding a sharp knife over the top, then picking out any large stems.
- Place leaves into the food processor. Pulse the parsley until it is finely chopped using 1 second intervals. Make sure not to pulse too much! Alternatively you can use a knife to chop the parsley.
- Add minced sweet onion (1/2), minced tomatoes (3 deseeded), minced garlic (2 cloves) and parsley to the bulgur and stir to combine.
- Add more salt/pepper to taste. Tabouleh is best served after resting in the fridge overnight. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the tabbouleh will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh parsley.
- Chop the ingredients finely: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the tabbouleh more cohesive.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want the dressing to overwhelm the other ingredients. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Let the tabbouleh chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. Serve the tabbouleh within a few hours of making it, as it will start to lose its freshness after that.
Conclusion:
Tabbouleh is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, tabbouleh is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
