Brigitte's Tabbouleh Salad image

Brigitte Bardot (for those of you who don't know she was an old French actress who was a vegetarian) loved this tabbouleh salad which is closer to a couscous dish. You can try it if you liked her, or you can try it because it tastes awesome! Minty, lemony and absolutely refreshing. Good for picnics. Refrigeration time is not included in prep time. From today's Sunday NY Times.

The lemon-tahini dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste.

I found the bulgur to be a bit too chewy.

This salad was a great way to use up some leftover parsley and mint.

I was a bit skeptical about the bulgur, but it was actually really good. It had a nice chewy texture.

This tabbouleh salad was a refreshing and flavorful side dish to my grilled chicken. The combination of bulgur, tomatoes, parsley, and mint was perfect, and the lemon-tahini dressing added a nice tang.
